Key Features:

8.8" Rear Travel

Main pivot in the centre of the drive sprocket which eliminates chain-induced pull/bobbing.

By moving all the gears to the centre of the bike, the weight is low and central on the main frame.

Horizontal dropout (150x12mm) with chain tugs - This allows the use of a chain without a chain-tensioning device or sprung chain-tensioner such as a rear mech, because there is no chain "growth". The sprockets can run with a single speed 1/8th chain (or standard 8/9 if required).

Ground clearance is improved as there is no rear mech.

Less issues with mud as the transmission is enclosed. In fact the bike is almost zero maintenance, because the transmission is immersed in oil, and only needs changing every 5,000 km.

The chain is stationary when you back-pedal.

You can change gear whether pedalling or freewheeling - A massive benefit once you get your head around it!!
