Frame : new high modulus unidirectional carbon frame, 1. 150 kg in size M; this carbon frame with a small rear triangle and very good restitution of the pedalling power, reduces the ground vibrations, braking and saves weight. The sloping frame geometry provides added control when steering through difficult sections. The built-in headset makes the head tube more rigid and thereby improves the handling.
Suspension/ shock absorbers : Rock Shox Recon Gold TK fork 100mm. Remote Pop-Loc. Solo Air technology with positive and negative air-spring chambers, simultaneously filled thanks to unique Schrader valve, simplifies adjustment of fork suspension.

Braking : Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic brakes, 180 mm discs. Powerful and precise braking. Technology: Deep Stroke Modulation: allows riders to perfectly modulate braking and control even the most powerful brakes with finesse. Power Reserve Geometry ensure that lever movement has less inward travel, creating an arc that’s closer to your fingers’ natural motion and delivers more force to the brake with less effort.
