CALE FRAME
A modern steel hardtail. Long, with a stable wheelbase, the Cale’s tight back end allows it to flick through the rough stuff while remaining efficient on long-haul stretches. Building on the success of the Beyond+ models, it’s a bike made for exploring the most technical routes.
Using experience gained building our Beyond+ models, it’s a vehicle for exploring the most technical routes.
