ALUXX ALUMINUM
FLEXPOINT SUSPENSION
A proven single-pivot design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 120mm of rear-wheel travel.
OVERDRIVE
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 ½” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
POWERCORE
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86mm wide bottom bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
29ER TRAIL GEOMETRY
Designed for confident trail riding, 67.5/75 headtube/seattube angles deliver smooth handling and optimize roll-over capabilities and momentum of 29-inch wheels.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Derailleur, brake and dropper post cables are routed internally through integrated ports. This helps saves weight and creates a cleaner look and performance.
