See the specifications below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Stage is Pyga&#8217;s take on the XC \/ marathon bike, designed to be more comfortable and less skittish than other bikes in the category. The Stage achieves this with a longer and slacker geometry than most endurance race bikes, allowing for a shorter stem and wider handelbars, all working to aid stability and technical handling.<\/p>\n<p>Pyga designed the Stage around the +FIVE chain line which shifts the rear end of the bike 5 mm towards the drive side. This centres the chainline improving shifting and reducing chain wear as well as evening the dish of the rear wheel making it stronger and stiffer.<\/p>\n<p>The Pyga Stage entered into the Best Bike in Africa features a RockShox SID fork and Monarch XX shock, a Pyga carbon wheelset, SRAM X1 drivetrain, and a Kore cockpit.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Specifications:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"specsList\">\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">FRAME:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">FULL TORAY CARBON STAGE 95MM<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">FORK:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">ROCKSHOX SID XX 120mm<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">REAR SHOCK:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">ROCKSHOX MONARCH XX<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">HEADSET:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">CANECREEK 40<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">BOTTOM BRACKET:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">SRAM BB92 PRESSFIT<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">CRANKSET:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">SRAM X1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">STEM:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">KORE AEROX<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">SEATPOST:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">KORE AEROX<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">HANDLEBAR:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">KORE AEROX<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">REAR DERAILLEUR:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">SRAM X1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">SHIFTERS:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">SRAM X1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">BRAKES:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">AVID XO<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">SADDLE:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">KORE FASER<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">WHEELSET:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">PYGA CARBON MARATHON29<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">TIRES:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">MAXXIS IKON<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"row_title\">RETAIL PRICE:<\/span><span class=\"row_data\">R 75,800.00<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the Pyga website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pygaindustries.com\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> for information on the Stage.<\/p>\n<p>If you like this bike and would like the chance to own one, vote for it in the Best Bike in Africa at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.africacyclefair.com\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair<\/a> on 23 &#8211; 25 October at St Stithians College.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.africacyclefair.com\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52935200-1445350049.jpg\" data-fileid=\"617413\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"617413\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-52935200-1445350049.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52935200-1445350049.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best Bike in Africa will be held at the 2015 Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair on 23 &#8211; 25 October at St Stithians College, Johannesburg.
