Frames & Sizes

    Q: What frame sizes are available and which body height corresponds to which size?

    A: The Spindrift 5 CF is available in four frame sizes. The ranges intentionally overlap: in the smaller size, the bike feels more playful, while in the larger size, it rides more smoothly. The exact allocation is shown in the following table:

    Frame Size Body Height Riding Behavior
    S 158–172 cm playful
    M 168–182 cm balanced
    L 175–192 cm balanced
    XL 188–202 cm stable

    Note: If you have questions about the appropriate frame size, our support team will be happy to assist you – especially if you are between two sizes.

    Q: What material is the frame made of and how much does it weigh?

    A: The frame is made from a blend of carbon layup and weighs approximately 2.9 kg, depending on the frame size.

    Q: What wheel sizes is the bike compatible with?

    A: The Spindrift 5 CF can be set up with 29 inches, in a mixed setup (MX, 29" front / 27.5" rear), or completely with 27.5 inches. The adjustment is made via the so-called flip chip on the rear, which adapts the geometry and bottom bracket height to the respective setup.

    Q: How much suspension travel does the Spindrift 5 CF have as standard?

    A: As standard, the bike features 180 mm of suspension travel front and rear. The fork can accommodate up to 190 mm of travel (see article "Suspension: Fork & Shock").

    Q: How is the cable routing managed?

    A: Cables and lines are routed internally – either through the headset or along the side of the downtube, depending on the cockpit variant.

    A: The permissible total weight (rider, bike, and luggage combined) is a maximum of 120 kg, and for frame size XS, it is 100 kg. The Spindrift 5 CF is classified in category 5.

    Safety Note: Please read the instructions included with the bike before first use. Exceeding the permissible system weight can impair riding safety.
