What’s better than a dropper post? A longer one. Our frames are designed to accommodate the longest dropper posts possible. Riders over 5’8 (or 173cm) can easily run a 185mm dropper post, while folks between 5’ and 5’8 (152cm — 172cm) can use a post 125mm or longer depending on inseam length.
Reduced-offset forks give the front wheel greater stability at speed and an additional sense of steadiness at slow speeds too. Since the HD5 is designed to excel in technical, demanding terrain, we went with a reduced offset fork that gives that extra bit of confidence and control in the most challenging situations.
We pioneered the wide rim revolution a few years ago and inspired a new crop of wider 2.4” — 2.6” tires. When paired together, this combo can be run at ultra-low pressures that produce elbow-dragging cornering traction without sacrificing speed.
INTERNAL CABLE TUNNELS
Internal cable routing used to be a pain but our internal tubes make routing easy. Just pop the housing through and it comes out the other end, no need for swear words or a pickset. It’s clean and easy. As it should be.
LINKAGE PROTECTION
It’s all about the little details. To keep your bike looking and performing at its best, we’ve fortified the upper pivot with a steel guard and added a plastic fender about the lower link. The HD5 also ships with a polycarbonate downtube protector and molded rubber swing arm protectors.
