G-Volve: Geometry Evolution

The CP platform is built around our G-Volve geometry, which optimizes frame angles and dimensions for a balanced, responsive feel. Drawing from our experience with the Dirtlab Menace and E-Menace, we've fine-tuned the CP's geometry for stability at high speeds, confident handling on steep terrain, and efficient power transfer on challenging climbs.

We initially adapted some of the in our opinion best handling bike frames that we ever rode and started to compare the numbers, and then said we need to be more forward gravity positioned on our bikes

We started by moving stem lengths from 70-80mm to shorter versions, 35-60, and then resizing the frames and pushing the rider forward. On paper, this looked great, so we decided to build the first sample frames out of steel and alloy and test the system in 2012. We then noticed we had to make small adjustments to the angles to have better, more confidence-inspiring geometry and ride feeling, and then made the first carbon frames.

With every iteration of our frames, we try to evolve, and the geometry changes with this sense of improvement. The new CP pedal (Iuhu) and E-bike (Paratu) frames are again a big push forward. The low bb is perfect to be combined with shorter cranks and can be defined as follows: S 155-160mm, M 155-165mm, L 160-165mm, off course based on your own preference, yet the bb height allows for all without having annoying rock strikes, etc.

The degree of slackness of the head angle depends on the travel chosen and the flip chip position, and the new frames are also fully MX/Mullet compatible without geometrical changes. These wheels can be switched back and forth simply and quickly when you follow the 29” or 27.5” position of the flip chip in the CP Yoke.

Time to feel how this new geometry evolution feels, go ride one!
