The new Flux 27.5 has been completely
redesigned from the ground up to take your
pursuit for exceptional trail riding further &
faster than ever before. Now featuring 27.5 inch wheels to get
that perfect balance of trail dominating control and the playful
agility for technical twisty singletrack. With a slacker head angle
and lower bb for a package that will eat up every foot of trail
without sacrificing the nimble traits of its xc lineage. This is all
thanks to the dw-link kinematics tuned specifically for the 27.5
inch wheels of the Flux. Then the travel just got bumped up to
120 millimeters with an all new shaped tubeset to save weight
and be torsionally stiffer. The new Flux 27.5 is not simply a
rehash of old ideas, this machine is a perfect example of xc trail
bike evolution!
The new Flux 27.5 is taking everything we have
learned from working with aluminum so far to
produce a lighter and stiffer ride specifically
honed for xc trail riding. This is the first 6061
aluminum model we've made that does not have a tower
gusset on the top tube to seat tube junction.
Instead we sat down with our engineers to figure out how we could
manipulate the tubing in such a way to have the benefits of that
extra gusset but without the added weight penalty. Our new tubeset
for the Flux 27.5 uses a two stage forming and heat treating process
to manipulate the butted tubing into this 'TriLobular' shaped tubing
that accomplishes this goal.
