Description
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner, for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding "feel". Heat treated cro-moly rear stays and investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%
Manitou Relic Super features 100mm of coil sprung/TPC damped suspension with external preload & rebound adjustors and lockout, stiff-but-light 30mm alloy stanchions, & Reverse Arch magnesium sliders
The Reverse Arch design offers greater torsional stiffness than standard arch-in-front designs yielding a higher stiffness to weight ratio & enhanced steering control & tracking accuracy
Shimano new Deore XT rear derailleur features a wide link design for greater rigidity & more precise shifting (and is a hi-normal reutrn spring design)
Shimano new Deore LX Rapidfire shifters offer a "2-way" release, allowing the upper lever to be pulled with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference
Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes
Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's proprietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly
The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are critical for rim longevity & durability. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed
WTB Rocket V Comp saddle offers a slim contoured shape with small "whale-tail" rear that enhances pedaling leverage
