On the Masi Bicycles web site, it states that the Incanto body has “semi-internal cable routing with customized configurations for 1x, 2x, or dropper put up routing. The entire Campy EKAR group that’s spec’d on the whole bike runs a single 40t entrance chainring. However it’s outfitted to run a entrance double if wanted. Masi says that the body is meant to run a 46t/30t, with the max being 50t/30t.
Tire clearance and fender mount.
The CNC’d yoke and the housing cease (on the underside bracket shell) for the entrance derailleur if that’s your jam. Each the fender mount and the cable cease add to the flexibility of the Incanto body.
The entire Incanto comes with 40mm tires, and based on the web site, the Incanto body can match a 700c x 45mm tire max. It seemed prefer it might match an even bigger tire, so I spoke with the Product Supervisor for the Incanto, and he mentioned there may be truly room for an even bigger tire… he didn’t say how a lot larger, he simply mentioned “room for extra”. How a lot tire and dust clearance will seemingly differ based mostly on tire development and inside rim width.
