BrakesHydraulic Disc BrakesHydraulic brakes use fluid to move the brake pads, as opposed to cables pulling on levers. They offer consistent, powerful, clean and quiet braking.
CockpitWide Handle BarExtra width adds leverage for muscling up those climbs, and adds stability.
DrivetrainClipless PedalsClipless pedals allow you to attach your feet to your bike like ski bindings, giving you much more power and control over your bike.Eccentric Bottom BracketBy borrowing a little technology from tandems, we can use internally geared hubs with standard dropouts for user friendly wheel changes. The eccentric bottom bracket is also useful for tensioning the chain on single speeds, and avoids wheel slip.Internally Geared HubBy tucking all the gears INTO the hub, we eliminate the fragile drivetrain components that dangle from the frame. This makes for a durable, virtually maintenance free drivetrain. An added benefit is the ability to shift at a standstill, without pedalling.
ForkAlloy ForkAn alloy for drops considerable weight, and retains the safety factor for use with disc brakes.
FrameButted TubingBy thinning the walls of the frame tubing, you achieve lighter weight and better ride quality.Full Rack and Fender MountsA full complement of specialized mounts allows for loading up your bike with all the necessary accessories for touring and commuting in comfort.S-bend SeatstaysBy carefully bending the seatstays, we are able to increase the ride quality of the bike. The curvy stays take a little bit of the sting out of road and trail imperfections.Semi Integrated HeadsetThis style of headset allows for better bearing separation and longer headtubes with a larger weld surface, without the drawbacks of tight tolerances and potential damage of fully integrated headsets.
Wheels29'er WheelsLightweight 29'er wheels give you a stronger wheel that stays true longer with fewer broken spokes.
