Description: HYDRO-FORMED DELTA V FRAME
Just 5.25 lbs. without the shock, this frame is the lightest in its class. Delta Tube Tapered wall to increase shock mount support. Interrupted top tube for increased stand-over clearance, steering precision and strength. Top Tube Formed and tapered to increase impact strength. Seat Tube Butted tube with integrated E-type derailleur mount. Head Tube Externally butted for headset bearing reinforcement. Down Tube Variable Wall to strengthen pivot and bottom bracket.

HOT BOX PIVOT
The Hot Box Pivot is constructed as a Welded, Hollow-Core Swingarm Pivot. It is designed for maximum stiffness and minimum lateral flex. It's CNC - forged hollow core provides a tremendous stiffness-to-weight ratio, boosting stiffness by up to 30%, which prevents wagging and increases pedal efficiency.

CUSTOM-FORMED CHAINSTAYS
The custom-formed and tapered chainstays are optimized for lateral and tortional stiffness. Tuned for vertical compliance, they distribute stress evenly under extreme landing loads. The rear derailleur cable is routed internally within the chainstays, delivering a clean look and no ghost shifting.

1.5 DEGREES OF ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY
In its foward shock position, the 69-degree head angle provides for a cross-country feel, giving you more agile turning response and quicker climbing ability. in the rear position, the 67.5-degree head angle gives you more stability at higher speeds and a better angle of atack for rugged downhill terrain.

OPTIMIZED SINGLE PIVOT WITH 140MM OF REAR TRAVEL
The regressive rear suspension geometry gradually increases the wheel-to-shock leverage ratio throughout the travel, giving you linear coil performance in a modern platform air shock. The foward pivot achieves the optimum balance between bump response and pedaling efficiency.

Bottom Bracket: 68mm
Seatpost: 27.2mm
Front Mech: 31.9mm
