ADVANTAGES
[Variable Chain Stay]
[Lower Position Battery]
[Multiple Tire Sizes]
[Max. Hidden Headset]
An adjustable rear dropout system, V-CS, capable of ten length settings ranging from 410mm to 425mm. Short chainstays provide the advantages and performance of a racing frame’s geometry. Longer chainstay length results in more stability when turning or traveling long distances, and also fits larger tires (650b x 2.25”) that work wonderfully on rugged terrain.
GFE accommodates 700 x 25c to the largest 700 x 45c road bike tire sets, mountain bike tires from 2.1” to 650b x 2.25” also fit the GFE. If tires smaller than 700 x 33c are installed, a fork cap on the inner side of the GFE’s fork helps keep the bike’s form clean.
Di2 batteries can be mounted on the down tube near the bottom bracket, maintaining the bike’s clean aesthetic and allowing seat post adjustment for various terrain requirements, as well as the installation of dropper posts.
The large integrated headset offers additional stability in combination with the GF series’ tapered head tube. It is 1-1/8” at the top and 1-1/2” at the bottom, providing smooth steering for confident downhill turns and light off-roading.
[14 Degree Flare Handlebar]
To top off the GFX’s amazing handling, DARE developed the ERGO 14, flared handlebars that offer high maneuverability when moving downhill over rough terrain.
[Supply Box Mount]
The top tube provides mounting holes for standard bottle cages. Other than bags with straps, riders can also pick a screw mounted tool bag/top tube bag to easily store and access energy snacks or other supplies while they’re out adventuring.
