To help create a nice, efficient seated climbing position, the Trifox’s effective seat tube angle is steep at 74.7 degrees. A slack 68.5-degree head angle should help provide a decent amount of stability at high speeds. Thankfully though, the brand does offer it in four frame sizes (small to extra-large) with some decent geometry across the board. Frame at the bottom, this is not only downtube protection, but underneath here, if you use a 2.5 mm hex/Allen, you can slide the protection back, and underneath you have a holder for DI2 battery downtube. Keep in mind that every dropper has an actuator at the end of about 2 cm. The seat tube, you already have a line coming up here for internally routed droppers, this is a 34.9 mm seat clamp which is not provided 31.6 mm diameter seatpost, because of this main pivot over here, you don’t have a lot of room to insert your dropper in the frame. The BB68/PF92 bottom bracket it’s a press fit, not a thread. It is held in place by this tiny bot, and going to be secured in place with the Thru axle on the drive side you’re going to see the routing for derailleur cable, it’s coming out right on top of the chainstays which is something that I like, it works well with both Shimano and SRAM drivetrains. Boost gives a 148 x 12 mm spacing which allows for the hub flanges to be further apart which gives a potentially stronger and stiffer rear wheel, and Boost 148 mm spacing in the rear, the Thru axle is provided as well, and gets a derailleur hanger that gets installed fairly easily, it doesn’t come installed from the factory. There is quite a bit more room around the tire up top here on seatstays. The boost design can increase the space of the chainstay, which can use larger and more speedy flywheels, the design of frog legs is more facilitate, and it also increases the elasticity of the rear fork, more shock absorption, and more comfortable. Our boost frame can fit a maximum 2.35″ size of tire. Equipped with a Trunnion rear shock mount, bring us the most efficient pedaling design, asymmetric design, we deliberately offset the position of the rear shock, so that the structure of the bicycle can be smooth, and the carbon fiber can perfectly achieve one Linear structure, and when the rear shock absorber is locked, the cable movement space on the left will be reserved, so that the down tube can be kept unblocked through the rear shock absorber to the main turning point. A rear brake caliper is a post-mount, it’s going to be installed here inside the rear triangle, and the hose is going to come out on the inside, that’s a pretty common design there today.

One on each side connecting the shock to the rest of the swing arm. Talking about this little rocker, this is made out of aluminum, on fancy materials here, sometimes it’s made out of two pieces. What that means is that you have one pivot point down here, and a second pivot point connecting to your rocker, but you don’t have the third pivot right here and the seatstays have to flex by a few degrees as the suspension moves up and down.

We should have called them the flex stays, because that’s the design of the swing arm of this bike, just like the new Stumpjumper or the new Transition Spur. The seatstay bolts are installed from the inside, 10 nm again. They’re also fairly low, 12 nm being only for this main rocker pivot. Torque value for these bolts or pivots is written right on them, which is very convenient.

Two bolts are included in the package in case you are going for a trunnion-mount shock, this also is a line for the remote if you install this as a cross-country bike.

At the bottom, you have room for a trunion mount shock. Shock mounting hardware is included, and it is held in place by this spacer. You can build it up with 115 mm of travel.

#Trifox frame full
The incredible paint job and full suspension design make it one of the most instantly head-turning bikes at the trailhead.īut just how well does this fancy frame perform with cheaper parts bolted to it? Will they hold it back or is the spec well enough considered, avoiding it being an issue? Read on to find out.įirst, the cross-country frame that is just like Scott Spark can be installed with a 100 mm shock with 165x40mm, but if you install this with a 165x45mm shock. That frame is certainly the talking point here. Cons: Great geometry balanced suspension composed when it counts The Trifox is only available with a Full Suspension Carbon MTB Frame, which partly explains the high price tag.
