Stöckli shows completely revised Amber

After the successful "Morion", Stöckli is presenting its big brother, the "Amber", at the Gurten in Bern. With 150 millimetres of suspension travel at both ends, this is another bike that is well worth seeing.

About a year ago, Stöckli presented the "Morion", a marathon bike that is more than impressive. For the first time, Stöckli showed that it not only builds good skis, but also designs independent, high-quality bikes. Based on the "Morion", the "Amber" is a bike with plenty of suspension travel and shoots with sharp arrows both visually and technically.

Optical highlight
The design language of the "Amber" is strongly based on that of its little brother. Slightly curved tubes give the bike a graceful appearance. The top tube tapers at the bottom, creating a fine edge. This gives the bike a dynamic look and separates the top tube into two parts towards the seat tube, which end in the double seat tube support. But Stöckli also shows that it has evolved in terms of layout. Only a few prints in matching colors line the frame. Fortunately, there is no technical frippery as we know it from race-oriented bikes. The top model "Amber AMT SL", for example, rides with Kashima-coated Fox suspension elements. Stöckli picks up on the golden coating with the golden lettering and gives the top model a simple and high-quality look.

Technically on trend
The four-bar linkage gives the bike 150 millimetres of rear wheel travel and has a carbon front frame triangle and an aluminum rear triangle. The "Amber" has thru-axles on the 150 millimeter fork and at the rear, which, together with the tapered head tube and the solid bottom bracket area, provide a lot of stiffness. The "Amber" is technically up to date and revealed promising characteristics on the first short test lap. With it, Stöckli has presented a real all-mountain weapon that, with a complete weight of just 11.3 kilograms for the top model, doesn't have to hide behind the big competition.
