Features

Nothing else like it

Supercaliber’s unique frame design ditches traditional suspension hardware so there’s less weight, less maintenance, and less lateral flex. IsoStrut connects the mainframe to the pivot-less seat stays to offer about 80mm of rear wheel travel. This design offers a unique blend of efficiency, traction, and fatigue-fighting compliance that keeps racers fresh and in control.

IsoStrut

IsoStrut integrated suspension gives you just enough travel to stay in control. It's fully tuneable like a standard rear shock, but without the weight penalty of a full suspension bike.

SLR OCLV Mountain Carbon

Supercaliber SLR is the World Cup lightweight frame. It drops grams by using a higher modulous carbon fiber layup that allows us to use less material, plus we skip internal guide tubes for cable routing, minimizing material and maximizing weight savings.
