When we design a bike, we always strive to make it unique and different. If something does not exist, we create it. If something already exists, we improve it.
The sliding dropout allows to:
– having a reactive and agile bike for an off-road use, having a shorter chainstay lenght and so helping the ability to turn in small spaces and harder conditions;
– having a stable and predictable bike during long travels on the road or on gravel, or for the uphills, where this characteristic in very important, especially when the bike is loaded;
– having a mix of the two, setting the dropout in the middle position along the slide;
– pulling the chain, especially useful when the bike is set up in single speed;
– erman.bike dropout has the longest lenght ever seen, allowing a 55mm sliding to the chainstay lenght.
