Confident driving
The frame is designed with endurance positioning and shorter chainstays for precise handling, agility and control. The longer reach, shorter stem and lower bottom bracket improve stability on rough terrain.
Comfortable
The new frame features thinner seatstays to absorb road shock and vibration. The D-Fuse handlebar and seatpost work as a system to add comfort without sacrificing stiffness when cornering, sprinting or climbing.
Adapts to the terrain
A flip chip on the frame's rear dropouts adjusts the wheelbase: shorter for more responsive handling and acceleration, or longer for better high-speed stability. The long setting allows for larger tires up to 53mm. You can choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or upgrade to a 30.9mm dropper round post.
