OPENCYCLE GravelPlus Disc Frame 28 "OPEN UPPER | Carbon
The UP PER combines a performance-oriented cross / road geometry with the freedom of a mountain bike. Thanks to the GravelPlus concept, you can drive almost anywhere and fast. The frame and fork of the OPEN UPPER have been optimized for weight compared to the OPEN UP. So could be saved on the frame alone about 220 grams. The newly developed OPEN U-turn fork only has a super light weight of 375 grams and is nevertheless suitable for brake discs with a diameter of up to 160 mm.
Whether in town on asphalt, on gravel roads or on single trails, the optimized geometry of the OPEN UP frame has been retained, allowing you to master any terrain with no problem, thanks to the large tires of up to 2.1 inches (at 27.5 "| 650B).
Of course, this enormous increase in tires posed great challenges for the developers. Thus, the bottom bracket area and the rear triangle was adapted to the conditions without losing stability. On the contrary, the frame has gained stiffness in the right places, yet still offers comfortable flex on critical zones.
Opencycle uses 100% Hi - Modulus Carbon in aerospace quality, not to impress you but to meet your own high demands on the product, the use of carbon in the right place . True to the motto: Stiff stiff yet comfortable with more traction.
The use of state-of-the-art standards such as the flat mount mount for disc brakes, thru axles, Di2 ready, the tapered head tube and the BB386Evo bottom bracket housing underline the coherent overall concept with high compatibility. The innovative design with the internal cables and brake lines not only creates a clean look but also saves weight. The shift cables are open in the frame, but are protected against dirt and thus require only a minimum of outer shell.
Opencycle frames are prepared for the future. A conversion to electrical circuits with the current Shimano DI2 standard is possible at any time thanks to the sophisticated cable management.
