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%
Frame features lost wax rear entry droputs with chain tensioning

Frame features lost wax rear entry droputs with chain tensioning
set screws, slotted disc brake tabs for caliper alignment & positioning, flush "nest"-type cable guides with removeable hose/cable retention clips, and a CNC'ed removeable derailleur hanger that slides over the hub axle and fits within the rear entry dropouts
Full cromoly rigid fork is suspension fork length so frame geo is suspension ready
Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes
WTB Mototec clamp-on grips feature a nylon skeleton that clamps down firmly on the bar, providng a no-slip contact point; over-sized knobs offer superior shock absorption & control in rough conditions
Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's propietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly
Maxxis Ignitor's well-spaced tread pattern offers low rolling resistance on the straights, with ramped outside edge pentagon providing excellent traction in corners & in loose soil
WTB Rocket V Comp saddle's slim contoured shape with small "whale-tail" rear enhances pedaling leverage
