We strongly believe our new product ideations and creative processes are unique, by the virtue of the cultural and geographical diversity of our worldwide design and product team. Silverback designers use integrated Solidworks Simulation analysis software to optimize frames and components for stiffness, strength and weight criteria.

Every design detail is questioned to achieve our mission; to create truly unique products that are intelligent in function, distinctive and beautifully designed. It’s what makes Silverback like no other bike in the world.

THE COMPANY. THE BRAND

CONTENTS INTRODUCTION & TECHNOLOGIES

Silverback Technologies was founded in 2004 as a one brand, one company entity dedicated to challenging the potential of humankind. With over 25 years industry experience and a culture centred on innovation and laser-like focus, Silverback’s design philosophy is demanding in every respect.

Silverback Technologies wurde in 2004 als eine Marke, eine Firma gegründet, die sich der Herausforderung des Menschheitspotentials verschrieben hat. Mit über 25 Jahren an Branchenerfahrung und einer Kultur, die Innovation zum Mittelpunkt hat und sich laserähnlich auf ihren Schwerpunkt konzentriert, ist die Design-Philosophie Silverbacks in jeder Hinsicht anspruchsvoll. Auf Grund der weltweiten kulturellen und geographischen Vielfalt unseres Design- und Produktteams sind wir fest davon überzeugt, dass unsere neuen Produktideen und kreativen Prozesse einzigartig sind. Silverback Designer verwenden integrierte Solidworks Simulationsanalyse-Software, die Rahmen und Teile im Hinblick auf Steifigkeits-, Stärke- und Gewichtskriterien zu optimieren. Jedes Detail wird hinterfragt um unsere Aufgabe zu erfüllen, nämlich Produkte zu kreieren, die von der Funktion her intelligent, vom Design her unverwechselbar und schön sind, und die wirklich einzigartig sind. Das ist, was Silverback zu einem einzigartigen Fahrrad macht!

ADVANCED DYNAMICS

ESSENCE OF SPEED

CONCEPT OF BEAUTY

FOCUS ON WEIGHT

Bicycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. The study of these motions begins in the Silverback lab. It’s where technical precision and design performance are challenged to the very limits of feasibility. Our strategic analysis is focused on converting research data into product solutions that create purposeful forms and demanding lines.

INTELLIGENT DESIGNS

If the bike and rider are considered to be a single system, the forces that act on that system and its components can be roughly divided into two groups: internal and external. The external forces are due to gravity, inertia, contact with the ground and the atmosphere. The internal forces are caused by the rider and by interaction between components. Our designers and developers embrace every aspect to achieve bicycling perfection.

FORTGESCHRITTENE DYNAMIK Fahrraddynamik ist die Wissenschaft der Bewegung von Fahrrädern und ihren Teilen auf Grund der Kräfte, die auf sie einwirken. Die Erforschung dieser Bewegungen beginnt im Silverback-Labor. Hier werden die technische Präzision und die Designleistung bis zur äußersten Grenze der Machbarkeit herausgefordert; Der Schwerpunkt unserer strategischen Analyse ist die Umwandlung der Forschungsdaten in Produktlösungen, die zweckorientierte Formen und anspruchsvolle Linien kreiert. Wenn Fahrrad und Fahrer als ein einziges System angesehen werden, können die Kräfte, die auf das System und die Teile einwirken, grob in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt werden: innere und äußere Kräfte. Die äußeren Kräfte beruhen auf Schwerkraft, Trägheit, Bodenberührung und Berührung mit der Atmosphäre. Die inneren Kräfte werden vom Fahrer und der Wechselwirkung zwischen Teilen verursacht.

Applied Science meets creative passion.

TWO NINE CARBON RACE

STORM

MODEL PLATFORM | CATEGORY: TWO NINE CARBON RACE

STORM 1 Rock Shox Sid SL with 15mm QR axle and Stan’s No Tubes Crest

Shimano 30 speed shifting

Storm’s racy 27.2mm seatpost increases rider comfort due to flex in the seatpost. This also allows the seat tube to have extra carbon lay-up thickness for increased strength, without becoming bulky and overweight. The tubing profiles accentuate lateral stiffness around the head tube area, while the rear triangle resists torsional flex while remaining vertically supple. This layout creates a ride that is responsive, laterally stiff, yet at the same time keeping the rider in touch with terrain feedback and helping to absorb the bigger impacts by using selected tubing profiles and clever carbon layup processes.

custom wheelset. STORM 2 Shimano SLX with Stan’s No Tubes crest custom wheelset.

Carbon frame has carefully designed tubing profiles and carbon layup to increase lateral stiffness for steering control, yet allows some vertical compliance in rear triangle to provide some extra comfort over rough terrain.

Metal frame protector plates around drive side BB, for chain contact protection, and under down tube together with bolt on cable guides make easily changed cabling system durable as well as attractive. SB proprietary Carbon mould utilising Solidworks simulation software

Wider flat bars with increased sweep increase rider comfort, control and leverage over big wheels while keeping the setup as low as possible on the front. Tapered head tube 1 1/8” to 1.5” for increased front end stiffness aids steering accuracy. A seamless transition of tube junctions not only limit weak areas, but provide good dispersion of trail vibrations that along with a narrow 27.2mm seat post help decrease rider fatigue.

SBC oversized lightweight components used to enforce design concept and bring refined quality to user’s control points.

The IDS suspension of 2012 has evolved from the original system to further improve the rider’s experience.

MERCURY SPORT

The new system uses linkage plates that are secured on both sides of the Bottom Bracket shell of the frame, and together with large cartridge bearings that are pressed into the frame’s BB shell; this produces a very stiff and reliable main pivot point. The new arrangement has not added any weight to the design, yet has increased stiffness in the rear suspension configuration. The complete system is laterally rigid, mainly because of this pivot arrangement, and ensures the rider can steer the bike accurately with little deflection in intended path, ensuring accurate handling in all terrains.

• Large main BB pivot is strong, stiff and easy to maintain • Laterally stiff one piece rear triangle attaches to large BB pivot • Suspension wheel path moves wheel away from oncoming bumps for more comfort and enhances traction under pedal load • Initial linear feel with progressive end stroke creating bottomless travel sensation • 28-33% sag measurement ensures maximum comfort and pedalling efficiency

THE CONCEPT Leverage ratio is applied to the shock throughout the travel of the suspension. First a little explanation of the different types of leverage ratio: PROGRESSIVE: This is where the leverage ratio gets higher and higher throughout the travel and exerts more leverage over the rear air shock. FALLING RATE: As per the name, the leverage ratio falls through the travel and exerts less leverage over the rear air shock. LINEAR: Again as per name this means the leverage ratio stays the same throughout the travel and is neutral.

Tapered head tube 1 1/8” to 1.5” for increased front end stiffness aids steering accuracy. Steepened head angle in conjunction with increased sag on rear suspension setup gives bike a perfect xc/trail setup for balanced handling response and control. Front rotors increased to 180mm for better braking power and minimal weight gain.

Each (price point or model) uses as light a wheel as possible to maximise the 29’er ride experience.

All suspension parts are replaceable and the system is simple to maintain, again helping the rider to spend time on the trail rather than working on getting the bike to work properly.

Rear travel increased to 110mm for optimal trail riding setup with 30-35% sag. This creates a comfortable ride that in combination with the larger wheels and the IDS, enhances the rider’s momentum through large rock garden trails and hard hits.

Cable hose guides for derailleur enable continuous sealed shifter housing for extended protection against the elements.
