► ► CFP Chain- and Seatstays
Using Carbon Fibre reinforced plastic (CFP) is
not new to ROTWILD. Since 2003 we use
CFP within the rear frame construction with
its asymmetrically aligned chain and
seatstays. This organic component design is
exploiting the specific properties of fibre
composites in the best possible way and
outperforms those from conventional
materials (e.g. steel or aluminum). The result
is a weight reduction of 30% when compared with aluminium constructions. Based
on the positive experiences we' ve made in the meantime we are able to implement a
CFP rear suspension in every full suspension bike (expt. R.E.D.) – even within our
downhill bike.
► ► Active Linkage System
Marathon race, cross country or tour riding:
Approved in our lightweight race bikes we
have extended our ROTWILD bike collection
with the ACTIVE LINKAGE System. The
ACTIVE LINKAGE system is one of the most
responsive suspension systems. The
construction is based on an active kinematic
system and is characterized by a maximum
of efficient traction and sufficient riding
comfort – with outstanding performance for a
wide range if biking.
► ► XM Linkage System
The new XM-Linkage system covers a
uniquely wide range of use for cross
country, tour and all mountain riding. Fast
and efficient when climbing, agile with
sufficient travel downhill. Functionally, the
XM-Linkage is based on four pivot points
kinematics with the four pivot points
forming a paallelogramm together with
the linkage and at the same time decoupling the forces from the suspension. Despite
more travel the system does not dive in while pedalling (anti squat effect) and
provides a low maintenance chainstay with the best response characteristics and
outstanding performance.
