FAQ

So, what’s the difference between Syncline DR and Syncline C?

First, the frame: DR is full-sus with modern geometry built for today’s gnarlier XC tracks. The setup is different too, and yes - it’s UDH-ready.
Why the names Syncline C and DR?

It’s in the name: “C” stands for Carbon XC/Trail, while “DR” means Dual-sus Race. Easy to remember, easy to get the vibe.
How about compared to the Siskiu D?

On paper the travel looks similar, but the ride intention is worlds apart. The DR is a pure-bred XC racer - full carbon and speed-focused. The Siskiu D leans more into trail fun, off-road exploring, and leisure rides. That’s why the geometry and spec are tuned differently.
Can I run a 36T chainring?

Yep, up to 36T no problem. You’ve got the freedom to pick the gear ratio that fits your riding style.
Is the Syncline DR efficient for climbing compared to a hardtail?

Yes. Even with rear suspension, the lightweight carbon frame and efficient single-pivot design keep it sharp on climbs, giving you traction without losing power transfer.
How much does it weigh?

DR9: 11.68 Kg (size M)DR8: 12.9 Kg (size M)DR6: 13.38 Kg (size M)
What’s the travel and why?

110mm rear / 120mm front. Enough to handle modern XC courses (which are rougher and steeper than ever).
Can it fit two water bottles?

Yes!
