Sanchez
499,00 €
Gorsko kolesarstvo ima ogromno oblik in dirt jump spada med zabavnejše. Bicikli (okvirji), ki so primerni za tovrstno kolesarjenje so podvrženi specifičnim geometrijam. Zahtevajo trdo, hardtail zgradbo (fulliji na dirtih odžirajo preveč odrivne energije).
Sila odziven in močan krom-molibdenski okvir Sanchez (cevi serije 4130 imajo spremenljive, butted debeline sten) Cove dovoljuje adaptacijo s 26-palčnih na 24-colske obročnike (podatek je pomemben samo pri montaži V-zavor. Rotorski sistemi ne vplivajo na dimenzijo platišč).
Porekla Sancheza se ne da skriti. Podrtost krmilnega nagiba je izrazita, lastna predvsem Kanadčanom. Vilična cev je od pravega kota odmaknjena za 22.5°, podsedežna cev je za stopinjo in pol bolj strma, medosna pa znaša 1083 milimetrov. Okvir je dobavljiv samo v eni velikosti. Ko je izdelek dovršen do te mere, zadostuje celo le ena dimenzija...
"We had a first look at the Sanchez frame a couple of months ago but now we've got our paws on a fully built one to have a proper rip on. Despite its burly chromoly frame (3kg/7lb), ours manages to remain pretty light. Cranking it, the Sanchez puts its power down really well thanks to a super stiff and short rear end, while a Hope Pro II rear hub and sticky Intense tyres help it out of the turns. Thanks to the dropped top tube and the 67.5 degree head tube, it feels stable with plenty of room for movement at speed. The front pops up really nicely for manualling and hops too. You can run 24 or 26in wheels thanks to horizontal dropouts, and the frame also features adjustable rim brake mounts. We've been running 26in wheels for added stability but we reckon it would work just as well on smaller rims. There's a lot of quality frames about for this money but the Sanchez is one of the most fun we've ridden. It's more than man enough for a good street thrashing yet still accelerates like an angry whippet", so v reviji MBUK (izšla je 12-ega avgusta 2008) zapisali Angleži, Kanadčani pa pravijo:
"For those who aren't afraid of the nasty..."
