"MTB"

The forest is your element. You hit the perfect line that catapults you out of the corner with no loss of energy. You accelerate for the next climb with just the right amount of speed to let you stay in the gear. Your aim is clear: sublime single track performance. Control is the name of the game.

Principia Monocoque Triangle (PMT) technology delivers! As a world first, Principia has developed a mountainbike with a monocoque rear triangle. In combination with the superior stiffness of the ELLIPSE PROJECT technology and an aggressive XC geometry, this gives you the perfect balance between speed and control that you need to achieve your goals.

"MSL C24T"

Stiffness, strength and comfort come together in the Weawed Principia Carbon (WPC) technology. It is a technology that allows for maximum control of the direction of the fibres and the properties of the frame. The carbon frames are made exclusively from high quality filaments with tensile strengths of 12, 16, 24, and 40 tonnes per square centimetre.  

The massive bracket for the brake caliper ensures maximum transfer of braking power in extreme situations.  

The integrated seat post saves weight and improves the stiffness to weight ratio (STW).  

With and intelligent design of the seat tube, the load of the seat clamp is distributed over a bigger area. This adds to the longevity of the seat post and the safety of the rider.

GEOMETRY:

BOTTOM BRACKET: Revolution C40T & Ellipse C24T use the BB86 press fit system. (FSA, Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo) MSLe Pro C40T, MSL C24T & MSL C16T use the BB30 system. All other models use a 68 mm bottom bracket with BSA-threading (1.37” x 24 TPI)

SEAT POSTS: The D2S models use 27,2 mm seat posts up to size 55. Sizes 57 and larger use 31,6 mm seat posts. All other models use 31,6 mm seat posts.

SUSPENSION FORKS: All 2010 Mountain Bike frames are built for 80 or 100mm travel forks. Shorter, or longer, travel forks will compromise the overall handling.
