This setup offers 60mm of rear wheel travel, reduces weight and claims to increase efficiency compared to a conventional suspension system. We went into detail as to exactly how this works in our detailed original Supercaliber story but, as a brief refresher, IsoStrut incorporates the suspension components structurally into the frame and relies on flex within the frame to totally do away with pivots and linkages. The heart of this bike is Trek’s unique IsoStrut rear suspension system. Though there are a few tweaks to the overall shape of the frame, the E-Caliber is largely similar to the Supercaliber cross-country bike, which launched in September last year. I don't know why I'm writing this really, but i miss my old bike, and it means that i having quite a complex question on my mind.The IsoStrut suspension system is the heart of the E-Caliber. I really do appreciate my fancy giant because it cost Santa a lot of money and it is so much easier to live with and if i said i don't still scare myself on it Id be a liar but i still miss my crap bike maybe I need to take off my rose-tinted glasses and maybe its just the glow in the dark grips that i mourn the loss off but I miss my bike. it was the skinny wheels that meant that every off-camber section was a gamble with your life and it was the over damped fork and under damped shock that meant everything on the trail was a kicker. i had less grip from the skinny rims, plastic tires and and terribly unmatched suspension but it was the plastic tires that meant i could drift round almost any corner i wished. there's nothing i wouldn't ride down on them (if i had the balls anyway) but i miss my Canzo, and its hard to explain why. now we both have stealth black enduro rigs (mines a giant reign, his is a cube stereo in case you were wondering) and they kick ass they really do. Me and my friend are both about 15 and he used to have a Bossnut and i had a Voodoo Canzo (the silver one not the black one) and they both had mismatched parts and and unforgivable amounts of play that could make you feel like you were doing a jump when in reality you were firmly on the ground and we had Halfords tires but, we learned so much on those bikes and made some awesome memories, those bikes are so playful and fun but they do start to limit you unfortunately. A 150mm KS dropper and Spank finishing kit round off our highest spec trail bike to date and we can’t wait to see where you folks end up on it. SRAM’s GX rear mech gives more precise shifting than our base spec Triple B and the NX chainset comes with their DUB system.
These tyres are some of the best on the market and we see lots of riders on the Bossnut riders group on Facebook making the upgrade, and for good reason. For a bike capable of performing this well, we’ve also upgraded the rubber and spec’d aggressive Schwalbe tyres, 2.6” Magic Mary front and 2.35” Hans Dampf rear, both with Schwalbe’s Addix Soft compound. The new Revelation fork takes much of its technology from its bigger brother, the Pike, with 35mm stanchions and a similar chassis, it’s really grown up over the years and is the perfect addition to the new bike.
The bike runs silently, handles better over the rough stuff and takes bigger impacts with ease, as well as coming with a lockout on the shock to make the climbs easier.
#Calibre bikes plus#
The combination of Rockshox’s Revelation forks and Monarch Plus DebonAir RC3 shock provide a serious suspension upgrade, it has to be ridden to be believed but the difference is night and day.
The Triple B was a success in its own right and has a core group of dedicated riders with their own riders group on Facebook.įast forward again and we’re in 2020, what a year… bike demand has gone through the roof, the whole cycle industry pushed to its limits but luckily for us this bike has been in development for a couple of years, our orders were in early and we’re ready to share it with you now, introducing the Calibre Triple B Pro, our premium, short travel trail bike.īased on our the proven chassis, we’ve upgraded everything else to push this bikes spec to the max. We knew we had a good platform in the Bossnut frame and in 2018 we upgraded the components to produce the Triple B, a bike which included most of the upgrades Bossnut owners were making to their new steeds, with a dropper post and longer travel forks. Turn the clock forward a few years and we’re onto our 4th iteration of the bike and with it, have collected a whole host of accolades from multiple Singletrack best bike awards to MBR Editors choice awards and a good few 5-star reviews along the way. A few years ago now we developed the Bossnut which quickly became synonymous with the Calibre brand.
