The new Pace was developed with a clear goal: to win the Cross-Country World Cup. The bike's special race geometry is designed for maximum speed on descents and efficient power transfer on technical climbs. With 116 millimetres of suspension travel at the rear and 120 millimetres at the front, the fully offers a balanced ratio of traction and control, even in demanding terrain. The frame weighs just 1600 grams. Thanks to a consistent lightweight construction concept, in which flexing seat stays are used, the Pace is one of the lightest race fullys in the field. The entire drive power is converted into constant propulsion, a system that is trimmed for efficiency and speed.

Lightweight construction through reduced shapes

The frame of the Pace relies on clear, reduced tube shapes with minimized surfaces. This enables targeted use of the carbon material and contributes to weight reduction. Compared to the previous model, the frame is 300 grams lighter.

Flexing seat stays replace pivot point

Flexing seat stays are used instead of a conventional pivot point. These increase the rigidity of the frame, reduce the overall weight and eliminate the need for four additional bearings. The result is a robust, low-maintenance rear triangle with high reliability.

Compact link and extended seat stays

The newly developed compact link combines low weight with high rigidity. The extended seat stays enable a direct connection to the shock without a yoke - a concept that avoids buckling forces and increases the service life of the shock. At the same time, maintenance costs are reduced as there are fewer moving parts.

Cleverly integrated chainstay and bearings

The chainstay is flush-mounted in the front frame triangle. The inverted main bearings are protected inside the frame, which means that fewer components are required and the bearing preload can be precisely adjusted. The integrated design also allows internal cable routing throughout - without any visible cables.
