Mtb Calculus Dual sus

[Marko243]

Hi guys/girls

Calculus bikes are a South African handmade titanium frame company and I am a brand ambassador for them.

I got my new frame from them a few days before my race and rushed to finish the bike build...I was worried that I would be uncomfortable on the bike because the bike was not setup and just roughly setup.

I was wrong it was the best ride i’ve ever had on a bike as these frames are built for you according to your body and I can say that this is realy a massive + for the company.

So the frame is what we al realy want to know about...the finish on the frame looks amazing and the fact that the name and logos aren’t paint or decals but are lazed edged into the frame, the raw ti look makes it even more of a winner.

The overall quality of the frame is just amazing the feel and I think it is probably the litest ti dual sus frame on the market.

The rear triangle is what realy lets the bike stand out. It only has on pivot and that is at the shock the bottom is a titanium flex blade and that takes out the “bob” you usualy get when riding a dual sus.

So if you are a fan of unique bikes and like S.A companies then you should absolutely check them out.

No mention of the frame weight?
No specs, no travel, no overall weight?

I don't know hey.

It's a very cool concept, having a custom frame manufactured. However, you will never be able to sell it should you want to "upgrade" as it has been designed specifically for your dimensions.

No price?

[Chavo]

The frame comes at a premium "R35 000 for a custom build Ti frame (Road, Gravel or HT) and R45 000 for a dual sus frame."

They should have taken Bob out long ago

So in other words this is not a dual suspension but a soft tail (like the older cannondales)

No it does not include the rear shock but the rear shock is a quite common size so you can use anyone you like

Where are these frames made?

[Calculus Bikes]

Morning, then are 14mm OD and 8mm ID.

I'm interested in the build process and an article would certainly help your cause. How do form those complex tube shapes? Do you have a factory/workshop one can visit?
