"THE ONLY THING THAT΄S CHANGED
IS EVERYTHING!"
HERITAGE
"AN ENDURO BIKE
IS A DOWNHILL BIKE THAT KNOWS HOW TO CLIMB."
OBJECTIVES
- Improved Enduro capacity-
- Continued versatility-
- Fine tuned final details -
FRAME
CONTACT SYSTEM
- The combination between META AM V4.2 and Metric shock equals a new era of suspensions.
- The META AM V4.2 offers more travel, more sensivity and more progressivity.
GEOMETRY
- An adapted 160/170mm fork: -
0.5° slacker head angle than the META AM V4 -
- Length of the top tube, reach and seat tube angle identical to the META AM V4 -
the bike is easier to handle and adapts to every movement whatever the slope or the technicality of the terrain. -
KEY POINTS
SUSPENSION
The METRIC suspension has an optimised internal guide to
improve the sensitivity of the shock.
The oil volume and the space for the valves are more important.
This results in better management of absorption.
WHEELS
25 to 30mm wide rims between hooks equals
more grip, comfort and precision.
Boost:
The greater hub spacing increases the rigidity and strength of the
wheels for more precision and play
A GOOD WHEEL
We chose 3 suppliers for the rims of
our META AM V4.2 range - WTB, Mavic and Spank.
The expertise and seriousness of
these three industry favourites is well established.
The Origin and Ride builds
are equipped with WTB I25 (internal width of 25mm).
The Mavic 427 rims are on the Essential,
Race and Race Eagle.
Their interior width has many advantages
(27mm between rim walls),
like
increased air volume
with a larger air chamber
for more stability and comfort
without loss of accuracy.
The performance is unspoilt.
For this 2017 range we chose
Formula Hubs for excellence in its field.
Ultra precise manufacturing processes
have been used for the bearing housing
(longer life, better performance)
and there is a free hub body that does not stand out from the cassette.
A good pedalling efficiency.
A good weight.
Boost technology.
META AM V4 WORLD CUP
is mounted with complete
SPANK OOZY TRAIL 345.
They are assembled by hand
with triple butted spokes
(2,2mm / 1,8mm / 2,0mm)
and have 30mm between rim walls.
COMPONENTS
RIDE ALPHA
Producing our own components means we can be certain of having
good and beautiful products that meet our expectations.
META AM V4.2 range has a new cockpit and RIDE APLHA grips.
Grips
A specially shaped frame of the grip at pressure zones
in order to increase the thickness of rubber
and thus increase comfort.
Ergonomic design and graphics
to maximise comfort and grip.
Lock on specific laser engraving
for the most precise adjustment.
Handlebars
Bars are sand blasted in specific areas
(clamp, grip, stem), which optimises torque.
A brushed finish on the rest of the bars
matches the rest of the components.
FINISHES
- Bright glossy colours -
- Refined matte black-
- Top of the range "Brushed":
Hand-brushed with a single layer of gloss equals.
Weight saved compared to a classic paint job. -
