The Fully as if from another planet

No weight, no information on the stroke, no price, no availability display: With the "Insolent", the French-Canadians from Resistance Bikes have constructed such a big fish on the hook that the jaw wants to drop even without any details. The fully frame, which integrates a Fox 40 standpipe into the top tube, makes the belt and the Effigear gearbox look like a side note.

There are many fullies, but one like the "Insolent" from Resistance Bikes in Canada is unique. The inventors have managed to integrate a stanchion tube from a Fox 40 fork into the top tube - and arrange the pivot points on the rear triangle in such a way that there is no chain elongation. Or rather, no belt elongation, because the bike not only boasts an independent suspension design, but also the use of a belt in conjunction with the Effigear transmission.

If you are impressed by the Resistance Bike and want to buy one, it is best to have a good knowledge of French. This is because the French-Canadian website is designed entirely in French. Details on ordering will be coming soon. The process for a custom-built "Insolent" also seems interesting and suitably idiosyncratic for the bike: You should send a suggestion and then it will be checked whether it can be done. It will also soon be announced where and when one of these cars can be test-driven.
