Titanium
We use titanium because of its premium ride quality, anti-corrosion resistant characteristics and unlimited fatigue cycle. And our supplier is the best in the industry, enabling them to create the precise tooling required, so that they can produce the custom tubing we need for these models.
Carbon fork
A new carbon adventure fork, with added tire clearance for 700*55c (650*2.4"), triple cage mounts for fenders and panniers, 398mm Axel to Crown and an adjustable offset of 47mm or 52mm.
Custom tubing
We feature custom tubing throughout this model so that the bike balances the perfect level of stiffness and comfort for any all mountain adventure. And each frame size features the appropriate tube diameter for that particular size, which allows us to tailor the stiffness from our smallest to largest sized frames.
Progressive geometry
Utilizing our mountain bike expertise, we wanted to offer a bike that felt comfortable on both short and long-haul rides, as well as multi-surface terrains. We designed the Cache with a longer front center and a shorter stem to ensure it had optimal handling to expertly manage technical corners, while still being predictable, stable and comfortable on epic adventure rides.
Human Centric Sizing
We have always believed in human centric sizing and design our bikes to deliver optimal reach, standover height and geometry for a broad range of riders.
