Stance

State-of-the-art aluminum material delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratio. The frameset also features double-butted tubing, FluidForm shaping, and innovative welding technologies including Smooth Weld to give it a high-performance ride quality.

Single-pivot suspension system with 130mm of smooth, active rear travel for greater control on technical trails. Updated design results in less rear triangle deformation and higher anti-rise performance for greater chassis stability and balanced geometry under braking force.

A fully tunable rear shock that’s engineered to complement FlexPoint suspension kinematics. Featuring Triple Flow Path technology, it delivers a wide range of adjustability on spring and damping for predictable traction control without any pre-set limitations.

Designed for trail riding, the STL 34 uses a Twin Air spring system to deliver a sensitive, controlled, and highly tunable feel across a wide range of terrain. From early stroke compliance to supported end-stroke control, it tracks the ground and manages impacts for a smoother, more confident ride.

Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/2” upper) and tapered steerer tube (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper) work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

An oversized bottom bracket area features a threaded, 73mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and increased stability on the non-driveside.

Designed for confident trail riding, a slacker head angle (now 65 degrees) and higher stack height (now 615mm) delivers greater control and more confident handling on technical terrain.

Contact Switch AT dropper post lets you quickly lower your saddle for descents and technical sections. The frame is designed to allow longer posts (200mm for L and XL sizes), so you have more room to move and greater control.

Optimal air pressure and damper setting recommendations, based on rider weight, are predetermined and presented in easy-to-read graphic displays on the bike itself—one on the rear shock and one on the fork—and also online.

Custom headset spacers and top cap designed to match the head tube shape for a clean outlook and seamless connection between the frameset and the handlebar/stem. The head tube and headset offer convertible cable routing that allows for internal or external routing.

Cable guides are designed to be flush with the frame, creating a streamlined look, quiet performance, and easy servicing. The frame also features integrated protection on the chainstay and underneath the down tube.
