Not wanting to throw together endless pages of bike photos and specs, this catalogue also serves as a photo diary from the last 2 years during fi lming trips for our fi rst full length dvd “This Is United” (which may be out now, who knows)
On these trips we spend a lot of time with our team looking at bikes, how to improve them, what we like or don’t like, and we draw from this when working on our completes. We look at ways of making them mirror what our team riders would actually ride, from geometry, colour ways they have ran in the past, down to little touches or tweaks they make to their own bikes, ensuring that what we end up with is as close to what they would run as possible. (a few of them even said we should just send these out for them to ride from now on)
For our 2011 complete bike range, we pulled apart every aspect of last years bikes working to improve and change them in every single area. We started with the frame designs, using infl uences from all three of our signature frames to give them an identifi able look, oval tubing from the Mothership, built in pivotal which you will see on the Trinity V4 later in the year, and seat stay plates from our 40 help them look like
our aftermarket frames but with their own twist.
We decided to work with brands like Eclat & Duo for pedals & tyres, as we feel they put as much passion and hard work into producing a quality product as we do. We worked on our own complete bike specifi c grip, spec’d a more street orientated Innova & Duo tyre, stems, forks, cranks it was all looked at and improved.
Two new models were also introduced this year, and kept to one colour a piece. The new RN3 fi lls the gaps between the RN2 & SU1, and the new SU3 is the pinnacle of the entire range with heat treated bars, half link chain, female bolt front hub, butted frame tubing, and polished parts to fi nish it off.
Thanks for picking up this catalogue and taking a look, as we say, it is not crammed full of pages of specs (although that can be found on the last page) we wanted to put out something that relates to what we do and try to achieve with these bikes, and how we go about it.
