Nine configurations are possible thanks to two interlocking chip inserts that move on two separate axes.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoothwall\u2122 carbon<\/strong> uses one of the world\u2019s most sophisticated carbon processes to build frames with industry leading stiffness-to-weight, ride quality, and durability. By using rigid internal molds, we are able to perfect the shape of the internal features and eliminate excess materials. We use different types of carbon in specific frame areas to maximize stiffness and impact resistance while minimizing overall weight.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>FORM\u2122 alloy tubesets<\/strong> are engineered for specific purposes within each frame, ensuring optimized strength, weight, and ride quality. FORM\u2122 tubesets use premium materials to meet our strict requirements.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoothlink\u2122 suspension<\/strong> stays supple yet supportive through a wider range of gears than conventional single pivot or other four-bar suspension configurations. This patented system reduces both pedal-bob and bottom-outs, while allowing us to fine tune variables like braking and climbing traction across a wide range of intended uses.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>BC2\u2122 pivots<\/strong> are lighter and stiffer than conventional bearing pivots. Unlike other bushings, our patented system uses a hardened alloy insert that bottoms out to control the contact of the bushing surfaces, reducing the preload that causes stiction and binding. BC2\u2122 Pivots also feature grease ports for effortless maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-72543800-1460357962.jpg\" data-fileid=\"709092\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"709092\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-72543800-1460357962.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-72543800-1460357962.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">International Pricing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pipeline 770 MSL \u2014 $4799 USD | $5999 CAD\n<\/li>\n<li>Pipeline 750 MSL \u2014 $3999 USD | $4999 CAD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The confidence of plus-sized tires in raw, technical terrain is now available in an aggressive trail chassis.
