WTF Suspension\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n Structure Cycleworks introduces the SCW-1, featuring 150 mm of Without Telescoping Fork (WTF\u2122) Suspension.<\/p>\n Moving beyond the inherent limitations of telescoping forks to a linkage design allows Structure complete control over:<\/p>\n You wouldn\u2019t accept these limitations from your rear suspension.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to Evolve Your Ride\u2122.<\/p>\n Linkage Integrated Chassis<\/strong><\/p>\n Stiffness, compliance, and responsiveness in perfect harmony.\u00a0 A fork and chassis that aren\u2019t just designed to work as a unit, they\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0a unit.<\/p>\n A carbon, double-crown fork connects to the oversized down tube via two robust carbon control arms, creating a stiff, precise platform.\u00a0 Stresses are distributed over the strong core of the frame, rather than concentrating stresses at the head tube, and mass is kept low and centralized for responsive handling.<\/p>\n Front and rear motion ratios are matched for perfectly balanced progressivity and simplified suspension tuning.\u00a0 Sticky fork bushings have been replaced by smooth, Enduro MAX cartridge bearings for a supple and supportive ride no other chassis can match.<\/p>\n Stability on Demand<\/strong>\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n Agility when you want it; stability when you need it.<\/p>\n Telescoping forks are most stable when fully extended and least stable when compressed.\u00a0 The result can be clumsy handling when climbing and less steering stability than a road bike when compressed.<\/p>\n WTF\u00a0Suspension\u2122 begins with trail-bike agility for climbing, gains category-leading stability by the sag point, and becomes more stable than a downhill bike when deep in its travel.\u00a0 Multiple, user-adjustable settings are available for riders to dial in the perfect amount of stability boost.<\/p>\n Size-Specific Kinematics<\/strong>\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n The pedaling and braking properties of a bike are not inherent to the chassis; they depend on the location of a rider\u2019s centre of mass, which can produce inconsistent kinematics between frame sizes.\u00a0 The merits of one suspension design over another are fiercely debated, yet the differences from one size to another of a given model are often greater than the differences between linkage types.<\/p>\n Structure\u2019s Size-Specific Kinematics\u2122 is the only system to fully tune chassis kinematics to the rider. Pedaling and braking responses are consistent between sizes, small chassis are more linear to help light riders access full travel, and large chassis gain additional front and rear progressivity for additional support.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Gravity Sizing<\/strong>\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n Your bike should fit your body\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0your riding style.<\/p>\n A small rider may want to ride large lines or a large rider may prefer enhanced maneuverability, but seat tube length often limits the selection of frame sizes.\u00a0 Taking a cue from the ski and snowboard world, Gravity Sizing\u2122 allows riders to choose a chassis that suits their riding styles, then Structure customizes the seat tube length to make it fit perfectly.<\/p>\n Gravity Sizing\u2122 and Stability on Demand\u2122 combine to create three chassis with three distinct personalities, each of which can be customized to fit a broad spectrum of body sizes.<\/p>\n Wide Range Geometry<\/strong>\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n Riders\u2019 body sizes vary by tens of centimetres, yet conventional frame sizes are separated by an average of only two centimetres.\u00a0 Wide Range Geometry\u2122 replaces cluttered, overlapping sizes with meaningful differences in reach between our G1, G2, and G3 variants.<\/p>\n Wide Range Geometry\u2122 also incorporates a steep, 76\u00b0 seat tube angle to optimally position the rider\u2019s weight when pedaling.\u00a0 Structure measures this angle at saddle height, rather than the more convenient \u2013 but unrealistic \u2013 head tube height, to ensure all riders experience the balanced ride qualities of a Structure.<\/p>\n Whether you choose the agile G1, race ready G2, or boundary pushing G3, every Structure purchase includes a consultation with Structure\u2019s design team to ensure your SCW-1 delivers a uniquely tailored and evolved ride<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Crankworx Whistler, Structure Cycleworks plan to display a new bike that is interesting to say the least.
