Propain präsentiert zwei Neuheiten im alten Jahr
The completely newly developed carbon frame of the Rage offers many innovative detail solutions. The unique reach adjustment covers two frame sizes with one. By turning the headset shells, you can adjust the reach by +/- ten millimetres, i.e. a total of 20 millimetres. A second shell allows you to ride the bike in the zero millimeter setting.
In combination with the chainstay adjustment (445/459 millimetres), the wheelbase of the bike can be adjusted by an impressive 34 millimetres longer or shorter. With so many possible combinations, the "Rage CF" can be perfectly adapted to your own body size, changing trail conditions or personal preferences.

Equipment variants
The Rage Carbon is available in three preconfigured equipment variants, the popular freely configurable "Project Free" and as a frameset. Even the entry-level "Comp" model offers ready-to-race equipment with a Rock Shox "Boxxer RC" suspension fork, Cane Creek "Double Barrel Coil" shock and the new GX-1x7 drivetrain from Sram for just €3,399. The top-of-the-range "World Cup" model makes downhillers' hearts beat faster, because only the finest of the finest is used here: Fox suspension, Sram X01-1x7 gears with carbon cranks, Magura MT7 brakes and Zelvy carbon wheels leave nothing to be desired.
Propain also focuses on individuality when it comes to frame colors. In addition to the two standard colors mint and silver, the Rage Carbon is also available in carbon raw, which allows you to customize the decals to your own preferences.
Tyee: One name - four faces
Propain had already presented three versions of the successful Tyee model at Eurobike: An enduro in carbon, an enduro in aluminum and an all-mountain bike (suffix AM) in carbon. To complete the circle, they are now following up with the aluminum version of the "Tyee AM". There are now four different models in total, covering a very wide range of uses.
The Tyee has a geometry that makes it possible to create a sporty enduro bike as well as a lively all-mountain bike. This is achieved with different shocks and suspension forks. The AM uses a shock absorber with the same installation length but a shorter stroke. In combination with a shorter fork, the geometry changes towards all-mountain: longer reach, shorter stack and steeper steering and seat angle. In practice, this change is reflected in a significant increase in propulsion. In contrast, the enduro bike scores with downhill performance.
When it comes to equipment, Propain makes no compromises and offers its usual wide range of options. The "Tyee AM" also offers a choice of three equipment variants, the "Project Free" and the frameset. For the first time, Propain has opted for the much-praised Revive seatpost from Bikeyoke. This is available with a 125 and 160 millimeter stroke.
The "Tyee AM" is available in raw aluminum and the standard colors matt green and gunmetal grey. There is also a choice of four decal colors. If that's not enough, Project Free offers the Custom Color and Custom Decals options, where there are no limits to the colors you can choose from.
