First, the bike gets 10mm more travel front & rear, now to 120mm at the front paired to 110mm out back.
To match the added travel, it also gets more progressive geometry for more capable descending, without sacrificing nimbleness. Its headtube is now 2.5° slacker, seattube is 0.5° steeper, and its wheelbase is 43mm longer with 5mm longer chainstays.
The CFR frameset is also lighter. At 1480g, that’s 55g lighter than the 2022 CFR or 445g lighter than the 2022 CF frameset. And complete bikes are still as light at 9.82kg/21.6lb, even with longer travel, and all bikes coming stock with dropper posts now.
Plus, it’s more adjustable. A new flip-chip at the lower main pivot lets riders tweak anti-squat to tune the bike’s pedaling efficiency feel to individual rider preference, chainring size, or track style.
Lastly, the new Lux World Cup CFR is said to improve reliability based on a stiffer 3D-forged alloy rocker link and new circlip-secured bearings within the shock extension for greater bearing longevity.
