Attention lightweight construction freaks: Last brings downcountry and trail bike bangers

Back in May 2020, the German bike manufacturer caused jaws to drop in the enduro category in terms of frame and overall weight. And now there's more to come: with the Celos downcountry bike and the Asco trail bike. The carbon frames manufactured in Germany enable a frame weight of 1.79 kg. The two bikes are based on the same frame, with the differences resulting from different fork lengths and additional shock travel.

With Celos and Asco, Last presents its brand new and in-house interpretation of a downcountry and trail bike. Two bikes that are fast, efficient and playful in handling, says the bike manufacturer from Dortmund. The perfect craftsmanship of production in Germany and the careful selection of materials should enable a frame weight of 1.79 kg. The individual configuration makes each bike unique, which is created in the manufactory in Dortmund.

One frame platform - two bikes

The Celos and Asco full suspension bikes share a frame platform, ride significantly differently according to the manufacturer and therefore each deserve their own name. The different riding characteristics result from the longer fork length and the additional shock stroke on the Asco. A conversion from Asco to Celos is possible by changing the suspension fork and changing the shock stroke - without replacing any frame components.

The facts:

  • Super-light carbon frame (from 1.79 kg)
  • Celos 120mm suspension travel front and rear
  • Asco 140 mm and 150 mm travel front, 130 mm rear - Featherweight layup without storage compartment
  • Superduty layup with storage compartment (plus 0.3 kg)
  • 6-year warranty and ASTM category 4 approval
  • Made in Germany

Custom made is a top priority at Last. In addition to framesets, there are also complete bikes. All bikes are configured in consultation with the customer. This applies to the choice of carbon fiber layup, the components and the color of the decals.

Celos complete bikes can be configured from 9.9 kg and start at € 7079. The Asco starts at €6599 and can reach a total weight of 10.5 kg without pedals. Featherweight and Superduty layup are priced the same. The Superduty layup always includes the storage compartment function and comes with two matching bags. The framesets start at € 4399.
