TYRE CLEARANCE
With clearances for up to 36mm the Strael can go extra wide for endurance rides or allow you to run full-length mudguards for winter riding and commutes without having to resort to narrow tyres that could adversely impact comfort levels
CNC'D HEAD TUBE
The 4130 cromoly head tube is turned from a solid billet into a tube on a CNC lathe. The head tube is 46.5mm in diameter, but flared at both ends to allow for increased wall thickness for the fitting of the headset cups
EXTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
The Strael opts to keep cables and hoses visible across the frame, which is a bonus for home mechanics. The modular cable guide is 3D printed with specific guides for 1x and 2x set-ups. If you opt for SRAM's eTap AXS a 6mm rubber bung neatly covers the Di2 hole
