The brand new Esker Hayduke Ti and Japhy Ti mountain bikes take the versatile, trail-loving geometry of their metal hardtails and provides them new life with seamless, butted, cold-shaped 3/2.5 titanium tubing.
Each share extraordinarily comparable body particulars, and are designed round 120mm suspension forks. Right here’s what it’s good to know to determine between them: The Hayduke Ti has a bit shorter TT/Attain/Wheelbase lengths and 67.6º head angle, and matches 29×2.6 or 27.5×3.0 tires. The Japhy Ti is a bit longer and will get a slacker 65º head angle, and is designed particularly for 29ers with a max 2.8″ tire width.
Framesets include Portage sliding dropouts, supplying you with hub/axle width and gearing choices (like singlespeed) in addition to the power to barely customise the geo.
A customized chainstay yoke will increase tire clearance and room for 34-tooth spherical (or 32-tooth oval) chainrings.
A couple of further braze-ons provide you with extra spots to retailer stuff, and a bead blasted end with rainbow anodized graphics makes it fairly.
Framesets include the sliding dropouts, a Wolf Tooth Elements headset, seat collar, and axle for $2300. These, and a Degree 2 full bike ($5200) can be found for buy now with supply in June. Degree 1 and three full bikes shall be out there later within the season for $4400, and $6000. Full spec builds and extra particulars on their web site.
