Rider profile:
For racers and discerning hardtail purists seeking for the pinnacle of 29er handling and light weight.
F29 IS:
- Super stiff laterally and vertically compliant thanks to SPEED SAVE stays and BallisTec carbon construction.
- A tight corner destroyer with its 29er race geometry and super precise handling Lefty fork.
- So light you can eat that cupcake guilt-free.
TECHNOLOGIES
THREE GREAT FRAME OPTIONS
- F29 Hi-MOD: High modulus BallisTec Carbon. At just 1050 grams for a large frame, the F29 Hi-Mod is in a class of it’s own.
- F29 Carbon: 1200 grams. By using a higher percentage of intermediate modulus fibers, we bring BallisTec carbon technology to more price points, while still staying lighter than the competition.
- F29 Alloy: SmartFormed alloy brings so much performance, you’ll forget it’s not carbon.
- 29’ER RACE GEOMETRY
By utilizing super short chainstays, a lower BB and a steeper head angle the F29’er Carbon has the same sharp handling and lively feel of our 26” race bikes, only with the roll-over-anything ability of bigger wheels. - LEFTY SYSTEM INTEGRATION
29’ers love Lefty. It’s true. Its unmatched stiffness and light weight make an even bigger difference on the big wheeled bikes. - SPEED SAVE VIBRATION ELIMINATION TECHNOLOGY
SPEED SAVE rear stays allow the rear wheel to track the ground, improving control and reducing fatigue. - CONTINUOS CARBON
On carbon models, stiffening fibers run uninterrupted from the head tube to the rear dropouts to increase overall frame stiffness while retaining compliance for exceptional ride-feel.
