Hardtails may offer uncomplicated fun, but that doesn't mean that they're not sophisticated. Indeed, without rear shocks to rely on, getting the most out of your chosen frame material is perhaps even more challenging when designing a hardtail. For 2015 we have completely new frame designs across the range. The CMPT Acid has a sleek new look, with a brake mount on the chain stay and internal cable routing. The LTD SL will exceed all expectations with its frame features tapered head tube, PressFit bottom bracket, internal cable routing, Direct Mount derailleur hangers. The Reaction and Aim have 27.5 and 29in options. And a completely new carbon fibre technology makes the ultra light, ultra stiff Elite a truly worthy flagship.
ELITE C68 SLT 29
Two factors determine victory or defeat: you and the right bike Do we really need electronic shifting on a MTB? Once youve tried the brand new Shimano XTR Di2, youll not be asking that question again. With its ever perfect shifting there is simply nothing comparable. With its revolutionary programmable shifting pattern, you can operate the 2x11 drive train (with 29" optimized 26/36 chainset) using only one shifter - keeping your focus entirely on racing. The Rock Shox RS-1 upsidedown fork follows these lines by providing a suspension performance and steering precision that sets a new
benchmark for XC forks. Super exclusive CSW MC 4.9 carbon wheels, the new XTR XC disc brakes and Syntace carbon parts complete this extravagant bikers dream.
REACTION GTC SLT 29
Agile handling regardless of wheel size With the new Rock Shox RS -1 suspension fork (100mm) featuring a very firm X-Loc lock out we see the start of a new era of upside-down forks. Defined by phenomenal steering precision and suspension performance it shines not only on the race course. The complete 2x10 Shimano XT group set and the excellent modulation of the Shimano XT disc brakes ensure top notch shifting and braking performance even in adverse conditions. The Very light DT Swiss CSW MA 1.9 wheels help the GTC SLT to accelerate very quickly.
LTD
New concept. Best aluminium processing. Maximum agility. Is this still an all-round MTB or a race bike? With the superb 100mm Fox Float CTD suspension fork and its intuitive Climb-Trail-Descend settings, you wont waste a second thinking about the correct set up. Consistent top notch shifting performance under any circumstances is guaranteed by the Shimano XT 3x10 drivetrain with an XT Direct Mount rear derailleur and XT Compact cranks (22/30/40). Shimanos I-Spec control integration keeps the cockpit tidy and the CS W MA 1.9 (or 1.7 for 27.5") wheels with DT Swiss internals keep you rolling smoothly.
ACID 29
High-end features, fun guaranteed The 100mm Manitou M30 Air suspension fork with remote lockout provides top performance and a touch of exclusivity. The lightweight tapered alloy steerer tube is an unusual feature in this category. A 3x10 Shimano Deore drive train with Compactcranks (22/30/40) and a Direct- Mount XT rear derailleur keeps shifting crisp and precise even under power. The new Shimano BR-M506 hydraulic disc brakes (including Servo-Wave technology) reliably handle braking duties - theres a large 180mm rotor up front for mastering epic downhills. The alloy CUBE cockpit is well integrated with Shimanos I-Spec mounts.
STEALTH READY Durch die Stealth Ready Option an unseren Rahmen knnen absenkbare Sattelsttzen mit innenverlegter Leitung perfekt integriert werden. Technisch und optisch State-of-the-art. The Stealth Ready option enhance the possibility to integrate a dropper post with internal cable routing. This solution is State-of-the-art. ADAPTABLE X12 HANGER Um keine Fasern fr eine Klemmung zu durchtrennen, eine grere Absttzung zu erreichen und dabei bessere Steigkeitswerte zu erzielen, haben wir, auf Basis des Syntace X12 Systems, unsere neuen Ausfallenden fr unsere Bedrfnisse optimiert. We optimized our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system. Now its possible to t the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved, also no bres have to be cut. AGILE RIDE GEOMETRY Um die Vorzge der Agile Ride Geometry auch fr den aggressiveren Trail Einsatz anzupassen, haben wir eine kompaktere Bauweise des Rahmens mit einem noch tieferen Oberrohr und einer dadurch verbesserten berstandshhe entwickelt die Agile Trail Geometry. Der Fahrer hat mehr Bewegungsfreiheit, der Schwerpunkt ist tiefer und ein agileres Handling mit mehr Fahrspa ist garantiert. To guarantee the benets of the Agile Ride Geometry also on aggressive trail rides we adapted the ARG concept. This contains a lower top tube, a more compact frame construction and a improved stand over height. Thus the center of gravity is lower. The Agile Trail Geometry is born - more freedom, more control, more fun! COMPOSITE 68 TECHNOLOGY C68 steht fr hchstinnovative Carbontechnik weniger Harz, mehr Fasergehalt: Der Harzanteil im Rahmen sowie das Gewicht konnten reduziert und gleichzeitig der Faseranteil erhht werden. Ein Faseranteil von 68% und feinste Nanopartikel im Harz sorgen zustzlich fr mehr Steigkeit. C68 carbon bre technology allows us to build better bikes than ever. By distributing carbon bres evenly, we can make thinner layers within the frame and reduce the amount of resin. Nanoparticles within the resin itself allows it to be distributed more evenly when under pressure in the frame mould. The result is a range of frames with 68% carbon bre.
