KEY FEATURES:
On-Bike Storage
- Adventures require gear and riders should get to choose whether they carry it on their bike or on their body
Frame Protection
- Our products are built from experience - we've been there enough to know that a carbon fork can benefit from added protection just as much as the downtube on a suspension bike.
Class 5 VRS
- Comfort equates to speed and distance over rough terrain
- Rider benefit is inherent to the design
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
Class 5 VRS
The Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System has specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile that promotes vertical compliance by allowing the seatstays to "flex" outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility. And a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide that incredible compliance
Interior Junction Control Molding Technology
We use internal molds at all the main front triangle junctions during layup and curing. This allows for precise control of wall thickness and inner wall smoothness in these areas. This process increases compaction and reduces voids and wrinkles in critical high stress zones. The end result is a top-quality carbon frame that delivers consistent high performance
Warbird Geometry
Warbird features the latest evolution of our already industry leading gravel racing geometry. Warbird places the rider in a position that can be maintained for hours on end over bumpy B-roads and loose surfaces, drastically reducing fatigue. A low bottom bracket and stable wheelbase help keep the tires planted and boost confidence. Long top tubes paired with short stems provide increased stability at high speed and on rough descents
Waxwing Deluxe V2 Fork
Our Waxwing V2 gravel fork features carbon construction with a carbon steerer and utilizes a 12x100mm thru axle for true tracking and flat-mount brake for quick setup. Waxwing V2 also comes loaded with features. Three-Pack mounts accommodate bottle cages or Anything Cages for increased hydration or cargo capacity. Mid-blade rack mounts allow make it easy to install our Down Under low rider rack for front panniers. Fender mounts let you keep riding comfortably in wet weather
