The spirit of optimism at Stöckli is evident in the recently launched "Morion". The bike has an independent and modern frame design and also appears to be a thoroughly styled unit. With 130 millimeters of suspension travel at the rear, it will replace the previous DS-11 and DS-9 cross-country bikes, with racers such as Urs Huber and Thomas Zahnd using the "Morion" in competitions. The bike with its sporty orientation allows the installation of suspension forks with 100 to 140 millimeters of travel, whereby the frame geometry changes to suit the area of use: At 100 millimetres, the bike is very agile and nimble, while forks with more travel have a slacker head angle and therefore a smoother ride. The spring kinematics are based on a classic four-bar linkage system.

Very wide range of use
The wide range of uses of the "Morion" is also reflected in the available versions: in addition to the conventional frame sizes, the bike will also be available in very small and very large versions. The different specifications cover a price range from 2800 to over 8000 francs. The "Morion" will also be available in both carbon and aluminum versions.
A hidden detail also suggests a wide range of applications: The "Morion" offers enough tire clearance at the rear for the use of tires up to 2.4 inches wide. In terms of weight, Stöckli plays in the middle class with the "Moron" and underlines its intention to offer a solid and trouble-free bike rather than compromising on reliability by reducing the weight. Depending on the version, the "Morion" weighs around 12 kilograms, with the version for racers weighing around 10 kilograms.

For Stöckli, the launch of the "Morion" marks the start of a new era. While the company has so far mainly relied on existing frame designs from the Far East and customized them to its own customer requirements, the "Morion" is an in-house development. For this, the company entered into a partnership with Biel-based industrial designer Vincenz Droux. He implemented Stöckli's specifications and developed the bike independently from the ground up. Experts from the production facilities in the Far East were then consulted for the technical implementation.The bike will be available in Stöckli stores for the first time this fall.
