Built To Fly When things get fast and tight, the lightweight Oiz delivers exactly the performance and efficiency needed to succeed in the most demanding XC races in the world, efficient when you push hard, precise at high speed, and controlled even at the limit. Forged Aluminum Linkage & Bridge With the shorter and stiffer forged aluminum linkage, we were able to reduce the weight by about 30% through strategically placed cutouts inside while increasing stiffness. The seatstay bridge in front of the seat tube connects the shock and rear end, ensuring precise alignment even under heavy load. Two Bottle Cages Thanks to two bottle cage mounts on each frame size, you can remain self-sufficient on self-supported tours without a backpack and during long races. Degressive Kinematics A degressive kinematics provides a more balanced ratio of efficiency and control than conventional linear or progressive setups. The bike remains efficient and traction strong even with the shock fully open. Race Geometry The new geometry ensures more aggressive XC handling and greater control at high speeds. A flatter head angle and shorter chainstays make the Oiz fit for modern World Cup XC. The Most Direct Way to the Shock Lockout Our patented I-Line is simply the most elegant, direct, and best-integrated shock lockout on the market. The cable for the shock lockout runs completely inside the frame to the remote lever, resulting in fewer cables, less dirt, and less friction.
