Noble parts, high price level
The front triangle of the frame is tidy, allowing the use of thin-walled scandium tubes and the transportation of larger bidons. In contrast, the four-bar rear triangle is visually reminiscent of Giant's NRS models ? not a bad reference, as these are still among the most efficient full-suspension bikes to ride today. With so much high tech, Wheeler is moving into price ranges that previously seemed reserved for smaller forges: For example, the "Raceline Falcon 10" with the complete XTR groupset from Shimano and a "SID Team" fork from RockShox will cost CHF 6999.

Buy the Falcon - and ride the SBM at a discount
This amount includes a 50% discount on the entry fee for the "Swiss Bike Masters" and a starting place in the second starting block, the so-called "Falcon Block". With this innovative idea, Intercycle is once again underlining the racing ambitions of its new flagship. If you are not quite happy with the components installed and want to fit parts of your own choice, you can also order the "Falcon 10" frame separately. Including the DT suspension strut, the frame costs CHF 1999.
