Full Suspension (XC)

Avanti Vapour

“a freakin incredible ride” Australian Mountain Bike Magazine

Lightweight, fast and efficient, Vapour is the all new XC/Race range design for competition and cross country riding at pace. Vapour is engineered to compete in XC/endure and multisport events or just destroy the ego of your mates. At the heart of Vapour is Avanti’s Tru-4 independent suspension system. Tru-4 uses a true 4 bar mechanism that positions the rear axle on the isolated seat stay. Avanti engineers optimised the virtual pivot point creating high levels of pedalling efficiency and braking independence.

Tru4 4 bar suspension system ensures all your pedalling efforts is translated into forward momentum over any terrain while the integrated Rocker Linkage makes for maximum stiffness and highly accurate handling.

The Tru4 true 4 bar mechanism positions the rear axle on the isolated seat stay optimising the “virtual pivot point” so the suspension system operates efficiently and independently of rider effects.

The Avanti Tru4 design team worked closely with leading shock manufacturers during the frame development to tune wheel rate giving great small bump compliance, more perceived travel and good bottom out protection.

Low rations between the wheel travel and shock stroke increase shock velocities enabling the compression and rebound damping circuits inside the shock to give better control of the suspensions motion and giving better you better control of the bike.

The key to an accurate-handling and flex-free suspension frame is the linking together both sides of the rear triangle as strongly as possible. Avanti’s one piece integrated rocker link, TruLink, is designed to do just that – lock both sides together so the frame stays true and rigid under even the highest torsional and side-loads.
