INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

Internal Cable Routing inside the frame for protection and a stylish design.

EPS (EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE)

Traditionally, inflatable bladders are used inside the carbon frame to force the material into the mould, but this technique leaves wrinkles or inconsistent thickness. To avoid this, we use expanded polystyrene. When heated, this material swells and exerts pressure on the inside of the carbon fibre. The result is a lighter, stiffer and more consistent final product.

BOOST-Standard

The BOOST standard offers new constructive freedom, but only for 29 ' and 650B Plus wheels. The rear wheel hub grows in its width from 142 to 148 mm. There is an increase of 100 to 110 mm in the front wheel hub. Therefore, in the frame with the BOOST standard, 27.5 rear wheels with plus tires can be fitted in addition to the usual 29er wheels. The crank also pushes 3mm outwards, which provides additional stability in the area of the bottom bracket and the larger chain length generally provides more space. This additional space, in the otherwise constantly cramped bottom bracket area, can be used to increase tire-freeness or create a stiffer rear body by using larger bearings.

• Wider rear and front hub.

• Stiffer wheels and more space in the bottom bracket area.

• Larger tire-free for Plus bikes.

29" Wheel Size

Large wheels roll better. 29 inches require about eight percent less energy than the 26-inch version. The 29“ wheel takes longer to get going, but rolls easily and quickly over rocks and roots, which brings an additional advantage – more comfort.

Larger wheels roll over obstacles more easily. The ability of a wheel to roll over obstacles is proportional to its size. A 29" wheel, which is about 10% larger than a 26" wheel, can roll over 10% larger obstacles. The larger diameter wheels have more angular momentum so they lose less speed to obstacles and rough sections.

29" bikes tend to offer taller riders a more "natural" frame geometry.
