Full Sus Prototype

In a brand famous for it’s steel hardtails, bringing a suspension bike to the table is a bold move. We like riding hardtails but there is definitely a place for full suspension bikes in mountain biking. When facing a rocky, loose Lakeland climb or a peak district boulder strewn descent then having a full suspension frame certainly helps.

We don’t want to overcomplicate our lives with a bike that has every new technology under the sun or the latest trendy suspension design, but what we do want is sorted geometry, good reliability, durability and suspension that works well and predictably in every situation.
This is the final version of the bike that we are bringing to market and after 2 years of playing with linkage designs, travel set ups and geometry we are at last happy with the bike and have settled on a design.

A 120mm link actuated single pivot with a low leverage ratio, that is designed to run with a 140mm suspension fork. We’ve used as many round tubes as possible to give a lovely clean aesthetic and shouldn’t bikes look like bikes? We think so.
Features

  • 120mm rear travel, 140mm front. Rear travel can be increased to 140mm with use of a longer stroked shock.

  • Super low maintenance PTFE coated self lubricating bushings throughout, apart from the large main pivot which runs on sealed bearings.

  • Durable anodized frame with sensible cable routing, including routing for a dropper post.
  • ISCG 05 mount for 1 x 10 set up.

  • XX44 headtube to accept taper-steerer suspension forks.

  • 142 x 12mm rear end, with Maxle Lite.

  • Sizes: 16.5, 18, 19.5

2 bikes will be available Spring 2012 as well as a frame only option.
