7005-T6 Aluminium frame
High yield strength, triple butted and heat treated 7000 series aluminium lies at the heart of the frame. Forged and CNC’d with carefully considered details to improve comfort, ride or decrease maintenance.
Oversize Cross CTRL Fork
The scale of the full carbon fork hints at the purposeful nature of the Foots Cray. Room for 2.3” tyres, oversized and fully compatible with large 160mm rotors, the CTRL will take you through some serious terrain. Sub 500 grams, its girth belies a svelte feel with legs firmly tied together by a supplied 360 degree through axle.
Tapered Head-tube
Housing the oversize lower bearing, the tapered head-tube helps to maintain chassis stiffness. Offering a solid location for the oversize downtube, it allows the rider to hold lines in corners without worrying about frame flex.
Disc Mounts
All chainstay mounted - CNC machined - disc brake mounts allow for the use of 140mm rotors on the frame (and forks).
142 x 12mm Thru-axle rear
rock solid accuracy and retention come care of the 12mm bolt thru rear axle. Supplied with our 360 degree skewer, simply slotting into position, rotor and wheels track perfectly, every turn.
Forged BB Shell
As well as holding the bearings, the forged BB shell incorporates a reinforced opening for the cable routing making sure the downtube is welded around its full circumference. Recessed cable trough also protects the outers from damage.
Modular Cable Routing - Internal
Our modular cable routing allows the user to choose between mechanical shifting with full cable outers for superb weather resistance or electronic shifting simply by swapping out the capping plates and maintaining a stylish look.
Modular Cable Routing - External
At the rear of the frame, the full outer is held in place with our MCR-E bolt-on cable clamps. Run Electronic gears and the stops simply get removed for a clean look, with the EPS / Di2 cable running internally along the chainstay exiting at the ear drop-out.
Anodised frame finish (option)
with no paint to chip, and more resistant to scratches, this robust finish keeps the looks longer and saves 100-140grams over a painted frame.
T-Tube Top-tube
Ridged along either side, the wide, T-shaped - top tube resists the sideways flex that can reduce cornering stability whilst maintaining a balance of comfort thanks to the tubes smaller overall diameter.
Flared Seat-tube
Oversized at the bottom bracket to resist your pedal force, but tapering to fit a 27.2 seatpost to improve comfort without the need for creak prone shims.
Flat Seat-stays
wider than they are tall, the Flat Stays allow some flex vertically but resists side loading, helping keep the back end on track without beating the rider to pieces.
Hidden Guard Mounts
Practical without detracting from the clean lines, our hidden mounts at the tip of the rear dropouts allow for solid fixings for mudguard stays to add some practicality to your bike in wetter climates.
3D Printed Mudguard brace.
A removable brace, fitted when mudguards are used, allows for a more comfortable rear end of the frame without sacrificing any stability or function.
