product description
The Nimbus Hatchet builds on the amazing platform that the Oregon created, and moves it onto the next level. The frame comes with the brake installed on a new precision IS mount. The hose is also clipped in place with special red aluminum clips. The main challenge with “Fat-Uni’s” is the requirement for a super wide frame. This can make it uncomfortable to ride as it catches the riders' legs. To resolve this the Nimbus Hatchet moves the frame behind the riders legs giving maximum clearance.
One of the main advantages to larger wheels in general, is the rolling speed. This comes down to larger wheels having a smaller angle of approach for getting over obstacles and bumps / variations in trail surface. They will also carry more momentum due to the increased rotational weight, so maintaining speed is a little easier. The smaller the wheel, more maneuverable it will feel, and the reduced weight will also help with acceleration for when short bursts of speed are needed.
- This frame will hold a tire up to 26" x 5.05", 27.5" x 4" and 29" x 3.0".
