The Tyee from Propain proves that it doesn't always have to be a radical new development. The enduro bike has been given a well thought-out update that consistently builds on the strengths of the original. The basis remains the same, but it has been improved in key technical, visual and functional areas. The Tyee has a fresh look, but offers more options than ever before.

A bike for everything and everywhere

From short after-work rides and extended bike park sessions to multi-day enduro races: The Tyee is made for any terrain. It combines agility and efficiency with smoothness and control, even at high speeds and on rough surfaces. To achieve this, Propain has struck an ideal compromise between climbing characteristics and downhill performance in the geometry and kinematics. The bike offers plenty of suspension travel - 160 and 170 millimetres at the rear and front - without inertia, but with maximum control and optimum grip. This is also said to be due to the balance between stiffness and flex.

Wanted updates

According to Propain, the Tyee has proven to be so efficient that a completely new development does not currently seem expedient. Instead, feedback from athletes and the community was taken on board in order to optimize the existing concept in a targeted manner. The aim was to make the Tyee even better and more accessible at the same time.

Internal cable routing is individually selectable

As with the Spindrift, the new Tyee also offers a choice between classic internal cable routing through the frame and the Acros solution via the headset cover. Both variants are compatible with any stem. Those who prefer a particularly tidy cockpit can opt for the fully integrated Sixpack Cable Routing with CNC-milled stem "Made in Germany".

The update also brings new colors with character. The Tyee CF (carbon) is available in Pigeon Blue, Deep Sea Carbon and Carbon Raw, while the aluminum version Tyee AL is available in Wood Rose, Midnight Blue, Aluminum Raw.

In addition, the carbon frames have a classic brake mount, which is supplemented with the corresponding post mount adapters. With this, Propain wants to offer maximum compatibility and ease of maintenance.

There are also new build kits with components and equipment that are a clearer commitment to the real enduro bike. These include suspension forks with 38 mm stanchions and various steel shocks.
