The 29er Way

Superfly 100 Elite and Superfly

10-speed drivetrain

Increased gearing range. Quicker, more precise shifting. And it's all the rage in 2011.

More momentum

A bigger wheel holds its momentum better. So you stay rolling over rough stuff and maintain your speed through the

corners.

Better angle of attack

Increased wheel size decreases the angle of attack. That means bigger wheels make obstacles seem smaller.

Lower centre of gravity

On a 29er, your centre of gravity is lower relative to the pivot point (the front axle). This results in a more stable

feeling when you're sitting in the cockpit.

Greater stability

A 29" tyre has a longer contact patch. This greatly improves climbing and cornering ability, and it helps the bike float

over soft terrain such as sand.

ABP Race

ABP Race takes all the benefits of ABP and provides them in a lighter, narrower system that’s quicker and easier to

use than ever before.

BB95

BB95 is an OCLV technology that allows the bottom bracket a 95mm wide stance with Net Molded precision-fit

sockets and press-fit bearings, compatible with all major crank manufacturers.This wide stance allows greater

surface area for the OCLV Carbon tubes, resulting in a stronger, stiffer platform. Combined with Mag EVO Link and

hi-lo stays, BB95 helps your wheels track each other, rather than twist and turn with each bump.

Carbon Armor

Sometimes you need a little extra protection, so we've developed a light, tough external shield. Our Carbon Armor

polymer shield adds reassurance to riders who know their down tube is bound to take some abuse.

Direct-mount front derailleur

A traditional front derailleur attaches to the frame with a band clamp. Our direct-mount front derailleur attaches

directly to the frame using a solid, flat interface.

This fastening method ensures crisper, more accurate front shifting.

E2

E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system.

FCC MTB

Oversized hub, flanges, and end caps create a flex-free 29" wheel capable of chewing through technical terrain.

FCC wheel

Wider, taller flanges, and outboard J-bend spokes create a stiffer wheel system, while larger 25mm end caps

improve hub/fork connection.

FCC flanges

FCC MTB pushes the wheel flanges out and up, improving the bracing angle between flange and rim for a stronger,

flex-free wheel.

FCC endcaps

The oversized hub shell at the center of the robust FCC system allows for taller flanges and oversized end caps.

The world's best carbon

OCLV (Optimum Compaction, Low Void) Mountain is carbon fibre designed to withstand the abuse of singletrack trail

riding.

It's tested to a higher impact standard than regular carbon, and is fabricated using a unique layup process with

advanced materials.

Optimum compaction

To create OCLV Carbon, we selectively apply heat and pressure to densely compress multidirectional layers of carbon

fiber. This achieves the optimum ratio of fiber to resin in order to maximize strength and minimize weight.

Low void

Voids are small, sometimes microscopic gaps between carbon layers where fatigue failures typically begin. Optimum

compaction all but eliminates voids in our carbon fibre pieces and components, achieving a strength that exceeds

even aerospace standards.

Minimises material and weight while maintaining a strong bracing angle for a more rigid frame.
