ELEVATE YOUR TRAIL EXPERIENCE

Discover the Vitae, the new model destined to become the perfect choice for those looking for excitement on the trails. Get ready for an unrivalled experience thanks to its full carbon frame and 150mm of travel!

NEW TRAIL PLATFORM

The Vitae features an updated Trail geometry, with a 65.5° (HT) casted steering angle and a 76.5° (ST) upright position for a more reactive pedalling action.

A Flip-Chip extender allows for a more "racing" geometry, launching it at 65º (HT), and the Vitae also accepts a fork up to 160mm for the daring, making a bike with a steering angle of 64.5º (Flip-Chip + 160mm fork), leaving it with an "Enduro-Racing" geometry.

HIGH PERFORMANCE KINEMATICS

After numerous tests and simulations by our engineering team we have achieved an efficient kinematics, for riders who like to go downhill without contaminating the pedalling.

The Vitae can work with both air and spring dampers as it has a high progressive response.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM, DESIGN, AND KINEMATICS

The mono-pivot system (4-Bar suspension with flexible swingarm) is capable of providing the best sensations to the most demanding competitors and to those looking to experience new sensations on their bike. And indeed, for light MTB bikes, this solution is the most suitable.

The fact that the shock absorber is located under the top tube results in a different design, evolving from the previous generation.

Something similar happens with the suspension system and its kinematic characteristics. Now the behavior is progressive, in line with current trends. Just take a look at the XCO World Cup circuits to realize that the descents are more technical, and the obstacles are larger. Additionally, the progressive behavior meets the goal of making the ultimate bike.

*SAG: (Suspension Air Gap) measure of the suspension's compression when the rider is in a balanced position, ensuring optimal setup to absorb impacts and maintain control.

Leverage Retio

Referring to the leverage ratio curve, we are talking about a progressive Horst-Link system (3.6-2.2), which offers a marked 30% progressiveness, a feature ideal for a Trail-Enduro model.

With an initial sensitivity of 20%, which allows reading the terrain with high effectiveness. Thanks to this feature and with a 72% anti-rise, it allows us to have a bike with great control and stability on all types of surfaces or during braking.

Anti-Squat

As for the anti-squat curve, we see that the Native has good pedaling efficiency, with a value around 124-172% for a 25%SAG value (which are the values we move within when pedaling across the entire transmission range), making the Native's system efficient for pedaling and keeping the wheel close to the ground both on demanding climbs and during sprints.

Anti-Rise

AVANT-GARDE DESIGN

The Vitae represents a perfect synthesis of innovation and versatility. Every aspect of its design has been meticulously conceived to deliver exceptional performance and an unparalleled riding experience.

By fully integrating the cabling through the headset, we have achieved a clean and distinctive look.

CUSTOMISED SHOCK ABSORBERS

In all Vitae mounts, we have integrated shock absorbers that have been tested and customised for maximum performance.

We have worked closely with FOX and SRAM to achieve the optimum tuning configuration on all our mounts.
