The tapered inset headtube provides superior stiffness to the front end, which is quite noticeable when navigating through the single track. The direct mount front derailleur allows for better tire clearance. Every piece, every aspect, every angle of the Big Top has been meticulously designed, tested, and improved upon for the ultimate riding experience.

We think you’ll appreciate the thought that went into the design. It has a relatively slack head angle (70 degrees) and shorter chain stays so the ride is snappy and very stable at speed. The entire rear triangle is made of hand laid-up high-modulus carbon fibre, so while laterally stiff, it is forgiving when the going gets rough. The tapered head tube adds front-end stiffness and allows the bike to track very well. And, it is very versatile. We have incorporated our Yeti Chip System so you can run standard QR wheels or a 142mm x 12mm thru axle QR for added stiffness. It has ISCG mounts and single speed dropouts are available for those of you who want to prefer the simplicity of running a single-speed.
