"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.

"MSLe PRO INTEGRAL C40T"

The unique and proprietary gear dropout combines the precision and rigidity of an integrated dropout with replaceability.

A diameter that changes from 1,5’’ at the bottom bearing to 1 1/8’’ at the top bearing gives stiffness, strength and durability where you most need it.  

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

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.
