THE FRAME

SKU: frame
Pure Performance - THE FRAME - A hardtail diamond made of carbon. At just 795 grams in size M, it is one of the lightest frames in the world.

Description

Developed for cross-country mountain bikes, THE FRAME is a pioneering hardtail frame! In cooperation with our partner CarbonTeam, we have created a product that you can trust unconditionally - stable, durable and precise. Produced in Portugal, the frame undergoes the final finish and a final quality control at our factory.

With the special layer structure gives and the advanced one-piece monocoque construction, it is the ideal balance between stiffness and weight. Special stiffness in the steering head and bottom bracket area enables precise steering impulses and direct power transmission. This enables fast and efficient riding without compromising on riding comfort.

The clean design with integrated cable routing and artificial workmanship makes painting superfluous, and the fine, clean raw look stands out of it.
