MOUNTAIN


MOUNTAIN WHEELS 26� wheels are the traditional option and are strong and reliable for all styles of riding. They are quick to get spinning and their size provides awesome manoeuvrability. 29� wheels tend to roll over obstacles easily and maintain their rolling speed better. This makes them ideal for covering lots of kilometres in 24hr events and multi-day stage races.

AGGRESSOR 29.2

CRANKSET Triple cranks provide gear options for all types of riders. Matched with 8, 9, or 10 speed cassettes there is always a gear to get you through the ride. Double cranks are lighter and have similar ratios to triples with less gear overlap which means less front shifting is required.


ADT AVANTI DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

Getting a bike that’s the right fit isn’t easy. The right fit for you and for the way you want to ride. Sure it’s easy to get a bike that looks like it could do the job – just pull a generic frame off a factory shelf, add some components, paint, decals and wheels and you’re away. There are many brands well-known ones too, that do exactly that. But at Avanti we like to do it differently. We’re not interested in buying frames off the shelf or taking a cookie cutter approach. Our range of bikes is designed in New Zealand by passionate cyclists who are obsessed with the development of outstanding bikes. Avanti bikes reflect a design and development approach that is geared to rider capability and needs - whether it be lightness, stiffness, compliance, strength, fatigue reduction or comfort. The Avanti Design Technology (ADT) process that all of our bikes go through combines years of development experience from our in-house designers, engineers and carbon technicians with feedback from our bike store dealers, customer groups and team of professional riders to develop absolute world class bikes so you can enjoy the best possible riding experience. What we learn in the wind tunnel about aerodynamic development, on the design floor about frame geometry or through pro rider evaluation about “the way it rides” flows through the entire Avanti range influencing materials, frame geometry and importantly, component selection. We select the best production facilities with the most rigorous testing protocols in the world to ensure the bikes not only look incredible and ride well but are also robust and durable. To back it up we guarantee our frames for life. That’s the Avanti Design Technology process in action. WELCOME TO AVANTI.

SUSPENSION FORKS Forks can be sprung with air or steel coils and in some cases a combination of the two. Air spring forks are lighter and can be easily tuned to the rider by adjusting air pressure as required. Hydraulic damping controls the speed that the fork responds to bumps and can be found on all forks in our XC Race and Trail bike families.

WISE

WOMEN + INSIGHTS + SCIENCE = EXCELLENCE

When it comes to cycling, on the whole women are differen to men - especially physically! On average, women have shorter torsos, shorter arms, and longer legs than a similar sized man. Shoulders tend to be narrower, hips tend to be wider and hands and feet tend to be smaller. And, yes, the sit bones are wider too! These differences mean bikes for women need to be designed and made to ensure good comfort, fit and performance - for all kinds of female riders. That’s where WISE comes in. A WISE Avanti bike has been specifically designed for women. Tested by our WISE group of women, including mums, mountain bikers, roadies, triathletes and female pro riders, you can be sure of a more comfortable ride without compromising performance or look. So look for the WISE symbol. You’ll know anything that’s WISE has been evaluated and refined by women just like you. It’s a mark of confidence.
