Taïga
”The Taïga is a worthy adventure bike through and through. It is perfectly set up for some trail shredding straight out of the box.” Read the complete review HERE.
In between a trail bike and a multi-day adventure bike, the Taïga has multi purposes. In fact, the Taiga has recently been the bike of choice for participants in the Silk Road Mountain Race, the long-distance mountain bike race considered to be the toughest in the world.
The small front triangle provides ample clearance for maneuvering more difficult terrain. Combined with a long dropper seatpost, wide tires and suspension fork, the Taiga lends itself wonderfully to trail riding. For bikepacking outings on rougher trails, consider the rigid fork, narrower tires and long top tube bag to maximize storage space.
Our selection of Reynolds 725 tubing gives this frame just the right amount of suppleness and responsiveness, while keeping the weight reasonable. A 67deg steering angle and 75deg seat angle strike a balance between modern and progressive geometry, without falling into an overly radical design. The 437mm rear center distance offers a centered position on the bike (front-center versus rear-center ratio), and can be increased for even greater stability when a rear rack is used.
* The frameset (carbon fork) comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors.
