It doesn’t have a name (yet)
It is not a high pivot.
There isn’t a shred of carbon on there.
There is no motor or battery.
It is not a mullet.
The cables don’t run through the frame or the headset bearings.
It doesn’t have a hole in the frame to store your sandwich.
So no, this bike is not going to win the fashion race.
This is a bike designed for long days in big mountains. Lung busting climbs and fast technical descents.
Perfectly balanced geometry for a nimble and lively ride.
The compliance of steel to iron out trail buzz. Mind blowing tracking.
160/140 travel. Takes out the sting, not the fun.
A handmade steel frame built to last with silky smooth filed fillets. Custom sizing and custom paint will be available.
The rear triangle is made with 3D printed stainless steel dropouts, chainstay yoke and seatstay pivots which are silver brazed to Reynolds 853 and 931 tubes.
Rocker link machined from 7075 Aluminium. It has 2 parts which fit together with a key system to stop twisting.
2 sizes of standard, readily available bearings.
Shock mounting bolts are standard M8 bolts.
UDH
Low standover and short seat tube to allow for a long travel dropper post.
Horst link layout for pedalling efficiency and neutral, predictable behaviour.
Designed in the mountains with CAD, science and Dan Roberts’ vast engineering experience.
Made by hand in the mountains with files, fire, sweat and blood.
Test ridden in the French, Swiss and Italian Alps and Finale Ligure.
Next step is to test a revised seat stay section then build some final pre-production prototypes.
Once the frames have passed lab testing we can then move into production.
Production is due to start summer 2025.
