Geometry

We designed the Tor frame to be a versatile, multi-role bike, with geometry ensuring fantastic, high performance handling.

Tire clearance is a generous 42mm which allows the use of wider profile tires, and provides ample clearance for mud when riding or racing in wet conditions, off road. The “Mud Knife” is a special feature of the the frame to remove mud, which is a carbon blade which effectively shaves off debris buildup on your tire before your tyre jams.

The Tor is a true Velocite frame, we had to make sure that it delivers our trademark torsional stiffness and confidence-inspiring handling, even in challenging conditions. The 142mm wide rear dropouts with a 12mm thru-axle ensure that the rear end of the bike will always point where you intend it to. On the front our rugged, oversize “Bolt” fork uses a 15mm thru-axle, guaranteeing predictable tracking and handling no matter what you throw at it.

As the Tor is intended for all-weather, high performance multi role riding we added rubber gaskets to the rear derailleur cable exit routing, and to the BB mounted carbon fiber access plate to keep water and mud well away from your shift cables or electronics.
