WHEELSET HIGHLIGHTS
Bontrager Wheelworks wheels are engineered for low
maintenance in a high performance design. The Race
wheels use butted spokes and alloy nipples for lower
weight. Disc-compatible hubs allow addition of disc brakes
without rebuilding the wheels. Tire has very versatile tread
pattern which works great almost anywhere. Folding tire
beads reduce weight.
FRAME AND FORK HIGHLIGHTS
Genesis geometry is defined by long front center plus short
stem for stability and enhanced steering response. ZR9000
Platinum series aluminum means light weight with very
high fatigue strength. 29" wheels roll over bumps with
less effort, making the bike faster. Fork has air spring and
magnesium lowers for low weight. SSV (Speed Sensitive
Damping) for smooth feel, increased control over varying
bump sizes. 30mm stanchions provide stiffness for steering
control. External travel adjust changes ride height, ideal to
set up for climbing vs. descending.
