Still the best bike for the customer who wants a lightweight, great climbing rig, but it is still plush enough to save your body. This 4 inch travel bike is best for a rider under 190 lbs. Construction is very solid and the sealed bearings make this bike one of our best and the lowest maintenance when we have a wet summer, or is hammered on the local cross country or 24 hour race circuit.
New for ’07
-A new head tube, with changed gussets – it looses weight and gets stronger.
-The new chain stay is Asymmetrical – and wide enough to fit 2.3 tires. It has increased durability and improved chain line. By the way it also rides a little better, Brian noticed quicker acceleration, due to a stiffer rear end.
-new tubes with internally tapered walls – and swaging-which allows maximum strength to weight ratio – and the tubes are 100% American made. This is a feature that is more and more uncommon.
-The new finish is weld washed and then hand polished for a finish that is rich, and long lasting.
-The fit has been improved as well, with reduced standover height.
-A new seat tube pivot allows reduced weight and improved durability.
