FULL DESCRIPTION	Ideal for touring, excursion and competition Hardtail frame allying comfort and performance Great rigidity and steering accuracy HM CARBON FIBRE The use of high modulus carbon fibre is the reason why we are able to build light weight frames while maintaining optimal lateral stiffness. This creates excellent frame efficiency and preserves the comfort of the ride. The use of carbon in the construction of MTBs revives designs based on rigid or semi rigid frames, as they provide very significant weight reduction. MONOBLOC / T2T FRAME CONSTRUCTION The front triangle is ‘monobloc’ construction for greater strength and lightness. A frame reinforcing ‘gusset’ is integrated into the down tube under the head tube. This ‘gusset’ also allows for better compatibility with new suspension fork designs. The frame rear triangle is connected to the front main triangle using T2T Technology (‘Tube To Tube’). This technology allows a very simple yet effective connection. DCSC CONCEPT STAYS DUAL COMFORT AND STIFFNESS CONCEPT. The upper and lower sections of the stays are flattened, which provide two benefits: improved flexibility in the vertical plane for greater comfort (vertical compliance) and increased stiffness in the lateral plane for better pedaling transmission. RACE TUNED GEOMETRY The 986’s geometry was designed based on the most up to date 80mm to 100mm suspension fork designs. The 71.2° head tube angle offers a perfect steering response/stability compromise. “NANO METAL” PROTECTION The diagonal tube is reinforced with metallic nanoparticles that increase the resistance to impacts by more than 60% without added weight. ROUND NON-INTEGRATED SEAT-POST COMPATIBLE The 986 democratizes by becoming compatible with all the round saddle stems of 31.6 mm. (saddle stem not supplied). It will delight all the MTB users looking for a lightweight bike, comfortable but without an integrated saddle stem. This feature makes the 986 even easier to use.
