Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[stefmeister]

Sigh. If you want lower travel, get the Jeffsy. Or something else.

 

The Capra has always been a heavy hitting enduro bike.

Just pointing out the trends.

 

The only thing that i can hit hard is the ground.

I think that bike designers have massive leeway these days because shock technology and the understanding of suspension kinematics has advanced to an extent where a a 180mm travel bike can be designed to pedal uphill quite well. 

 

The trend for a while has been for longer ie 160mm plus travel enduro bikes - the Radon Swoop 170, Spaz Enduro, Propain Spindrift etc have been around for a while. YT have just updated an old design and brought it in line with other manufacturers.

Interesting that they choose the 29ér over the 650

This article is very balanced and the tester preferred the 27.5 in the really steep stuff.

Altruiste Bicycle Company 

 

Altruiste's founder and builder Gabriel Lang Is from New Brunswick, in eastern Canada, where he mainly builds with chromoly, but is experimenting with titanium. The ex-downhiller worked for some prominent Canadian builders as a welder before founding his own brand. He's pretty much a one-man show. 

 

Lang believes that plush suspension is more efficient in the long run, even at the expense of pedal bobbing, which is why both his dirt-jump and trail bike designs use a concentric bottom bracket pivot location for their swingarms. I liked his asymmetric shock and seat tube arrangement. It is a simple solution that should be lighter weight and stronger than the more common work-arounds.

If you zoom in enough you'll make out the words VERY UGLY. That is the manufacturer but the model name is the Hideous.

 

They use the finest left over scaffolding in their badly lit garage production facility.

Yeah and he didn't need 500mm's travel to do it either
