Revolutionary Design and Features for All Riding Styles
In a bold move poised to capture the attention of cycling enthusiasts, Rodeo Labs has officially launched the Flaanimal 6 Ti, the latest addition to their acclaimed Flaanimal line. Following the success of its predecessors, this innovative bike is not just another gravel bike; it’s a do-everything machine ready to tackle everything from road riding to ultra-distance adventures.
Exceptional Frame Construction
The Flaanimal 6 Ti boasts a meticulously crafted titanium frame designed for superior performance and aesthetics. Key features include:
- Headtube: Machined into an hourglass shape, it supports integrated routing with 44mm press-in headset cups, contributing to an aerodynamic yet sleek profile.
- Distinctive Silhouette: Custom-profiled, full-length top tube and sculpted seat stays ensure a striking appearance and enhanced performance.
- Bottom Bracket: Dubbed “The Keg,” the improved T47 bottom bracket shell allows for internal routing without compromising crankset functionality.
- Lock Jaw 2 Slider Dropout System: This newly developed system offers significant weight savings and compatibility with various setups, including singlespeed options.
Impressive Tire Clearance
The Flaanimal 6 Ti excels in tire clearance, accommodating a 29 x 2.1″ tire when positioned at the rear sliders’ maximum point and a 650b x 2.4″ tire with a standard crankset. This versatility ensures optimal traction and stability across multiple terrains.
Routing Choices to Suit Every Cyclist
Understanding that preferences vary, the 6 Ti offers:
- Fully integrated routing
- Semi-integrated routing
- Traditional routing options
This adaptability makes it suitable for both minimalist racers and those preferring a more conventional setup.
Geometry Options for Custom Fit
Rodeo Labs provides two geometry choices catering to different riding styles:
- Standard Geometry: Versatile and predictable, ideal for everyday use.
