#27.5 plus

View On WordPress

27.5 + TIRES This new standard changes the way hardtails perform over rough terrain. 27.5+ offers the rolling diameter of a 29er for an incredible angle of approach. The added width gives you a huge contact patch that lets you grip the corners like never before, float over nasty rocks and roots and hit the roughest lines with confidence. DESIGNED FOR 27+  Unlike many “27+” bikes out there which are really just repurposed 29’ers running 2.8 tires, the Beast of the East is designed specifically for 27+. Room for full 3.0 tires, Ai drivetrain, short chainstays and dialed geometry means better performance and more fun. AI (ASYMMETRIC INTEGRATION) DRIVETRAIN Our Ai technology allows us to fit those big 3.0 tires and still keep our chainstays short and nimble. By asymmetrically offsetting the rear triangle and moving the drivetrain 6mm to the right, we gain clearance for the tires without wrecking the q-factor. As a bonus, the rear wheels ends up being stiffer and stronger thanks to even spoke angles. SMARTFORMED ALLOY FRAME Cannondale’s storied Aluminum history continues with the Beast of the East. The SmartFormed alloy frame has been tweaked to be light and responsive, features Save stays for added comfort and adds tech with the new flat mount brake for reduced weight with increased heel clearance. 120MM FORKS A bike this capable deserves a bit more travel than you’d expect on a hardtail. FUN TRAIL SET-UP A 68.5 degree head angle, short chainstays and a 120mm fork combine to allow the Beast of the East ridden hard over the nastiest terrain. The slack trail geo pairs nicely with wide 760mm bars and a 60mm stem for total control and fun confidence.

27.5 + TIRES Wider rims and big 3.0" tires deliver insane traction and comfort, making technical trails a breeze and every trail more fun. DESIGNED FOR 27+  Bad Habit isn't simply a repurposed 29er. Short chainstays, ample clearance and dialed geometry delivers uncompromised performance for maximum fun. LEFTY 2.0 Big tires mean lots of grip, and lots of grip means lots of flex in the fork, unless you have a Lefty. Lefty’s unbelievable rigidity and smooth action under load are the perfect match for Bad Habit’s grippy tires and ripper attitude. 55MM FORK RAKE To combat the growth in the trail measurement (and resulting sluggish handling) that comes with the larger tire diameter, Lefty’s on Bad Habit use a longer 55mm fork rake to reduce trail and keep the handling snappy. ZERO PIVOT SEAT STAYS Lighter and stiffer than conventional pivots, these aluminum pivotless stays also reduce unsprung weight for better suspension response. ECS-TC LOCKR PIVOTS Oversized axles in the swingarm and link lock into place with a unique expanding collet system, dramatically increasing the system stiffness. PROPER TRAIL SPEC It’s a control thing…wide 760mm bars, shorty 60mm stems, 180mm brake rotors and wider rims put you in control, no matter what you get yourself into. INTERNAL DROPPER ROUTING Clean, internal routing through the seat tube makes a dropper post an easy upgrade Ai DRIVETRAIN Asymmetric Integration offsets the rear triangle and drivetrain 6mm to the right. The result? Ultra-short chainstays with clearance for big 3.0" tires, dual chainring compatibility and a stronger, stiffer rear wheel.
