ENDUROAD / technology

dual fiber dynamics As suggested by “dual,” these seat stays are a composite of two lightweight and ultra stiff materials: a composite glass fiber and carbon. The solid core provides incredible rigidity, and the carbon outer layer acts as added vibration damping. In the end, you have a bike that gives the rider a lot more control and a lot less fatigue on the ride.

triple triangle™ The Grade’s Triple Triangle works as a vibration damping system, enhancing vertical compliance and providing the rider with added control and reduced fatigue.
