£999.99
Lower weight, maximum adaptability. The Core 40 uses our 6069 ALX-9 triple-butted aluminium frame to shave weight yet retain strength, plus a Recon 351 U-Turn fork that adapts to different terrain and riding styles. The Core geometry is optimized for the 85-130m of travel available and the overall low weight and capable handling feel is a potent combination on any trail.

Product Details
The Core series frame uses shaped and extruded tubes that are selected to offer a smooth and accurate ride at a low weight. We reject curvy, hydroformed fashions in order to have greater control over wall thicknesses and tube integrity and use a greater range of tube dimensions across different frame sizes than we could if using hydroformed tubes.
Overall frame weight is now between two and four ounces lighter than our previous Core frame design. For a structure that has to cope with forces as dynamic as a bike frame does, tubes are still hard to beat in terms of stiffness to weight balance. By simply tapering or ovalising the main frame tubes in the right places we can tune the levels of stiffness in various parts of the frame, on larger frames we use larger diameters and / or thicker wall tubes so that even at the entry-level of the Core range, a 20.5″ frame uses a different tube set to the 16″ frame, ensuring that everyone gets the right level of stiffness and strength, not too much, not too little, just a great ride feel.
