Transalpes presents the C2 - the bike for almost everything

With the C2, Transalpes presents the successor to its first carbon C1. Whether on an after-work ride or an enduro race, the new model is designed to offer riding fun across the entire spectrum. To this end, the downhill and climbing characteristics have been improved. The bike offers 145 millimetres of suspension travel at the rear and can be ridden with 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels thanks to the flip bridge.

The C2 is the consistent further development of perhaps the best mountain bike, according to the Swiss bike manufacturer. It is "perhaps the best mountain bike", as Transalpes has also consistently trimmed it for versatility. The C2 cannot be pigeonholed, but can literally be called a trail bike - a mountain bike for the trail. And it shouldn't matter whether these trails are flowing or rough, whether they are on an after-work ride or part of the stages of the Enduro World Series.

In order to make the range of use even broader, the geometry and chassis have been worked on diligently. The C2 carbon frame is an in-house development. It offers 145 millimetres of rear suspension travel and can be combined with a 150 or 160 millimetre suspension fork depending on the area of use. The kinematics have been refined to improve the suspension properties of the chassis.
This is not the only reason why the new C2 should be better on the trail. The steering angle has been flattened further to 65.5 and 65.1 degrees respectively. The reach has increased to an impressive 475 millimetres (size M), while the wheelbase is also longer at 1228 millimetres and also ensures a smoother ride. Nevertheless, the C2 should not be stingy with agile handling, which is due to the short chainstays.

As everything that wants to go down has to go up first, the climbing qualities have also been improved. The seat angle is now 76.5 degrees steep, 76.3 degrees with the 160 fork. The weight has also been kept within limits. The complete bike is available from 12.4 kilograms, which allows for energy-saving progress.
An interesting feature on the C2 is the flip bridge. Thanks to this, the geometry can be adapted to the rider's riding position and preferred wheel size. Tire widths of 2.6 inches for 29-inch wheels and 2.8 inches for 27.5-inch wheels fit into the rear triangle.
The Transalpes C2 also flatters with a tidy and more filigree look, thanks to internally routed cables and lines as well as slightly slimmer tubes.

The Transalpes C2 can now be ordered from selected specialist dealers and the Transalpes Bike Manufaktur. The first Transalpes C2 will be delivered to customers in February 2020 as a frame kit or with the preferred components.
