Velocite Flux was developed to deliver the best off road performance when the terrain gets technical, or fast. It is not a frame for showing off to friends, or for keeping indoors, or for riding on paved roads. The Flux is a thoroughbred carbon fiber frame intended for trail domination and winning.

It is not an ultralight frame. It does not aim to look impressive just on paper, or to be used for bragging rights. Nevertheless, the weight of just 1.2kg for size M (19") is perfectly reasonable.

While there are lighter frames, none are stiffer or more durable than the Velocite Flux. We can confidently stake this claim since we used the best available materials, and the best available construction methods, and we avoided making an ultra light frame on purpose. To make the Velocite Flux any lighter, we would have had to reduce the number of carbon fiber layers since there are no further technological improvements possible. Removing the layers may be acceptable with some road bike frames, but we deemed this completely counter productive for a true racing mountain bike frame.

A stiff frame allows you to remain in much greater control when the terrain gets technical, or when you are trying to go as fast as possible. It allows you to maintain your line without loss of control. A flexible frame deflects sideways and around the obstacle, or the point of impact instead of going where you are pointing it. When navigating challenging drops, or rocky and rooty sections, you will have a lot more confidence on the Velocite Flux than on a lesser frame. Similarly, on fast flowing trails where you will reach speeds at which you need to maintain focus, a stiff frame will allow you to precisely guide it along the fastest line, with minimal guesswork and anxiety.

The increased stiffness maintains its performance lead when going up hill as well due to increased power transfer and better rear wheel traction since you will not be deflected sideways every power stroke.  

There is very little decoration on the matt unidirectional carbon finished frame. The advanced layup is clearly visible.

Another striking feature is the "bow" shape - the top tube and the seat stays form a perfect and uninterrupted carbon composite bow. This design allows us to use the smallest possible front triangle size which is a clever engineering way to further increase the frame stiffness, and it provides possibly the lowest standover height of any cross country MTB frame. Low standover height in turn creates a very low centre of gravity, further increasing your level of confidence.

The asymmetric 1.5" head tube allows the use of the new generation high performance forks, while the BB30 bottom bracket standard does the same to the crank sets. These features complete what is already an impressive frame.
