Alu X6 Ultralite. Our frames made from X6 Alloy material are 35% stronger and 10% lighter compared to frames made from 6061 Aluminium. This again results in greatly improved weight to stiffness ratio.

2x10 drive. Larger amount of gears does not necessarily result in improved riding performance. Compared to the tradition 3x9 system the 2x10 drivetrain still offers a full range of usable gears. On top you save the weight of your bike and the shifting becomes far less complicated which you appreciate on any undulating terrain. For all these qualities the 2 x 10 has become the new shifting standard in MTB recently.

Long seatpost of 400 mm helps to absorb high-frequency vibration. The result is increased riding comfort, lower fatigue and less pain while doing longer rides.

Wheels are one of the most important bicycle component. We have implemented special in-house wheel building technologies to guarantee the maximum quality of the component. To achieve perfect stiffness of the wheels and the resulting optimum transfer of energy we combine single and multi butted spokes.

Remote lockout placed on the handlebar allows you to lock the front fork (or a shock) in a second without the need of letting the handlebar loose. This way you have always perfect control over the bike.

Air fork with the air system allows you to setup your suspension exactly according to your weight and riding style. The air suspension is extremely sensitive and comfortable .

D-type direct-mount front derailleur mounted directly onto the frame delights with accurate shifting. There is no need for clamp, which saves the weight and gives the bike perfect compact look.

Inner cable routing. Cleaner look, cleaner cables, longer life and less weight. Inner cable routing protects the cables from dirt, increases their lifetime. The result is easy long life of shifting with very little maintenance demands as well as improved look of the bike. The absence of external housing saves some extra grams from the total weight of the bike.

Race geometry. We optimize the design of our race bikes with respect to perfect transfer of energy and handling performance with quick and easy manoeuvring.

Ultra short rear triangle provides our 29ers with perfect manoeuvring qualities and agility comparable to 26" bikes.

142x12 thru axle is 35% stiffer than the classic open dropout. The result is super effective transfer of energy from pedals onto movement forward and precise steering.

Post mount placed inside the rear triangle onto massive chain-stays reduces the loads from breaking transferred onto the seat stays, which eliminates undesired vibration and resonance when breaking. This solution requires no break adapter and strengthening bridge connecting the seat-stays, which reduces their weight and improves riding comfort. The subtle seat-stays have higher capacity to absorb high-frequency vibration from the terrain.

Comfort/acceleration. Superior bikes delight with outstanding balance of vertical flexibility and lateral stiffness to achieve the maximum comfort and acceleration. Our sophisticated frame shaping technology allows us to optimize the vertical flexibility of the top tube and seat stays to absorb undesired high frequency vibration from the terrain and provide maximum riding comfort. On the contrary, the massive chain-stays with high level of lateral stiffness guarantee the maximum transfer of power from pedals onto movement forward. The result of this mixture is a bike that perfectly accelerates, while offering outstanding riding comfort.

Tapered head tube is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset into a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. The steerer tapers from a 1.5" (lower) to a 1-1/8" (upper) headset to provide more material where it matters the most, resulting in a stronger and stiffer frame. This solution brings you super stiff frame that delights with outstanding energy transfer and precise steering.

Axial stiff. Oversize press fit PF30 carbon bottom bracket with significantly wider diameter compared standard bottom brackets offers improved axial stiffness. It is stronger and much stiffer platform compared to standard bottom brackets. Press fit PF30 BB transfers your power onto movement forward without any extra losses of energy. It saves weight too.

ISPEC system enables mounting of brake and shifting levers onto one clamp, which saves space on the handlebar and gives them cleaner look. The ISPEC solution saves weight too by eliminating two extra clamps.
