The maximum tyre clearance of up to 35 mm gives you the freedom to ride on any type of surface ? whether asphalt or gravel tracks. Including quick-mounting mudguard
Our sophisticated solutions make it quick and easy to mount mudguards. And best of all: mudguards are included with every PARALANE. Greater comfort means less fatigue
The Endurance geometry is designed for extended tours and the frame for maximum comfort, ensuring even longer cycling enjoyment. Technologies Comfort Improving Areas | C.I.A.
C.I.A. allows less muscle fatigue due to more comfort. In order to increase the comfort of the bikes, the tube cross-sections of seat stays, chain stays and seat tube (Comfort Improving Areas) are as flat and flexible as possible. This means that the frame absorbs bumps, the bike runs more smoothly and the rider remains powerful for longer. Rapid Axle Technology | R.A.T.
R.A.T. is the world’ s fastest thru axle and stands for Rapid Axle Technology. It is the first thru axle system that combines the stability, alignment and lateral rigidity of a thru axle with an extremely fast wheel change. In terms of simplicity and speed, the patented R.A.T. system even surpasses conventional quick-releases. Stable Stiffness Per Size | S.S.P.S.
To ensure that all bike sizes offer the same riding characteristics, all frame heights are individually designed and have a specially developed carbon lay-up. This Stable Stiffness Per Size (SSPS) production ensures that all sizes offer the optimum weight to stiffness ratio. Please note that pedals are not included!
