Why a rear triangle versus link approach?

  • Thinking Ahead: We have designed our bikes with future upgrades in mind. Existing customers can go from a 29er to a mullet with a simple rear triangle switch whilst….

  • Maintaining Geometry & Suspension Kinematics: We’ve found a balanced geometry for our bikes and keeping this consistent was fundamental to our approach. A link design puts the rear wheel in a different portion of the wheel path - therefore outside of the bounds of the optimal anti-squat - whilst a rear triangle switch allows us to keep the consistency whilst providing the added playfulness and manoeuvrability for those inside lines

FAQs

  • No. You can retain the chains you are currently using for your 29er

  • No. The reason for a rear triangle versus a link approach was to retain the geometry of the 29er. We have developed the bikes with very specific geometry in mind and spent a lot of time testing to reach that geometry sweet spot. Therefore, when designing the mullet option, it was vital that this was retained which required a rear triangle versus a link approach

  • 435mm

  • It is not about advantage or disadvantages but more about how you enjoy riding. For some, mullet setups feel more playful and lively especially around corners and off jumps. They can also provide more clearance which can be particularly beneficial for maneuverability on inside lines

  • Great for freeride, bikepark and jibs

  • 27.5 x 2.4 is the go to for a mullet and we’d highly recommend that for both the Claymore and Highlander II

  • The inner idler bearings are included but not the full idler. You can either switch over your existing idler (which should be a 52mm setup) or you can purchase a 52mm or 55mm idler kit from the store. N.b. the 55mm is primarily if you want to run the SRAM UDH T-mount system.

  • Yes - both the Highlander II & Claymore mullet rear triangles are also UDH compatible

  • Our bikes have always been designed with upgrades in mind. To operate as efficiently and sustainably as possible, we are adopting a 'made-to-order' approach for existing customers wishing to upgrade.
