Maxlight XC Pro 2 Mountain Bike Frame 06 - £299.99

The new XCPro2 is a thoroughbred race machine for 90-100mm travel forks, it has been developed and refined during the 2005 season. The prototype frames have been race condition tested by our Kinesis UK race team producing some outstanding results. The XCPro2 uses the same super lightweight, oversize Kinesium tubing as the XCPro. The down tube is Aero profile at the top and changes to a large oval section at the machined BB for maximum stiffness and weld area, the top tube is teardrop section near the head tube changing to round and then square section at the seat tube junction. This custom drawn tubing allows us to optimise tubing wall thickness, giving a super light frame, which retains strength and stiffness at the crucial areas. New for 2006 are the ‘tuned carbon wishbone’ seatstays, we have developed these stays in conjunction with Kinesis International to match the characteristics of the XCPro2 frame perfectly, the stays are direct in response to drive and allow some vertical compliance for comfort. New lightweight CNC machined dropouts mate to stiff, hydroformed chainstays making sure no power is wasted. The XCPro2 stack height is kept low by the use of a new Zero stack headtube, the larger dia. of this tube also adds weld area, meaning greater strength and stiffness, further enhanced by the box head tube gusset. Decals are all new for 2006 and there are 3 great looking colourways, including our exclusive new ‘Tungsten Silver’ paint finish.
