FeaturesThe XCR29 Sport's Kinesium triple-butted mp4 multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight and offer superb pedaling efficiency yet remain fully active with a near-vertical wheel axle travel path. It includes 10mm shock hardware, 12x142 rear thru axle for easy wheel installation and tapered head tube for increased lateral & torsional stiffness and performance. Asymmetrical chainstays incorporate a straight stay on the non-drive side and a curved stay on the drive side to achieve greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle. Chain stay size has been increased 25% compared to 2012. The XCR29 Sport's fully-active 100mm rear travel is controlled by a Rock Shox Monarch R with hydraulic damping, external rebound and aluminum shaft and body for lighter weight. Rock Shox's XC32 TK 29 Solo Air offers 100mm of travel, 32mm stanchions, aluminum crown, lockout and external rebound controls - all usable and functional "on-the-fly" adjustments that can be felt by the rider. The Solo Air feature allows air to fill both the positive and negative chambers using a single valve, simplifying suspension setup while retaining a plush ride. Geax is regarded as one of the best tire manufacturers in the world, offering tires with higher thread counts and leading-edge compounds. Their Saguaro's are renowned for offering a light, responsive ride. Shimano's splined Octalink BB and crank interface offers much greater strength & rigidity than standard square taper designs, thanks to the increase in contact area between BB spindle & crank arm. Tektro Draco 2 hydraulic brakes feature ergonomic 2-finger length levers with reach adjust for better fit and feel. Ritchey's cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process yielding optimal grain structure and eliminating all internal imperfections, allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or durability. Jamis lock-on grips feature a dual compound including gel in the palm area for comfort and dual lock rings for no-slip security. The new WTB Volt saddle utilizes a "whale tail" pad shape which helps increase power output by properly angling to the sit bones while climbing. A flex tuned shell and a Comfort Zone cut out below the nose increase comfort while riding on the front of the saddle.
