Liteville 901 Mk3









901 Mk3

The evolution from a long-travel bike to a true-bred downhill racing machine boasting with 210 mm travel. The frame tubes have been butted multiple times for a maximum of toughness; the race geometry and the adapted Liteville four-bar linkage kinematics are the direct result of two years of research and development in the Downhill World Cup. The customizable features such as the VarioSpin, the MicroAdjust damper socket and the DuoLink at the rear frame allow for the adaption to different racetracks or for the conversion towards a genuine bike park machine.



THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTINUOUS AND RELENTLESS EVOLUTION

With all Liteville frames we design, the principle of choice is the one of continuous and relentless evolution, or put differently: step-by-step improvement. We kept ourselves from design gimmicks right of the start and instead concentrated purely on function, weight and durability of our products. It might be the case that you will not see the differences between different evolutionary stages. Yet you will notice and experience their improved function, reduced weight and thus improved handling and performance when riding.



Based upon the experience of two years in the World Cup





(1) DuoLink for the adaption of the chain stay length
(2) Geometry adjustment via damper skid for an individual tuning of the steering angle and the height of the bottom bracket
(3) Evo6 frame standard – optimized wheel size geometry for improved chain line
(4) Perfectly usable travel (210 mm) thanks to the proven Liteville four-bar linkage kinematics
(5) NCP+ cable routing – entire routing is hidden inside the frame with no elongation
(6) Several times butted tubes for maximal stress resistance in downhill riding
(7) Syntace VarioSpin headset for the adaption of the steering angle. 0 degree as standard; +/- 1.5 degree as an option
(8) Oversize seat tube for 34.9 mm seatposts
(9) Syntace X-12 through axle. Stiff, lightweight and with the option to adapt the wheel alignment
(10) Optional SCS chain guide – the most silent, stable and easy to mount chain guide on the market

(11) ISCG-05 socket for a chain guide
(12) Depending on the individual requirements, the bearings of the frame are adapted respectively with a maximum of grease load and equipped with the Horst-Link design. The bearings can be greased from the outside for ultimate responding qualities
(13) Integrated down tube protection for the usage of double crown forks
(14) Exchangeable rear derailleur hanger X-12 Typ3 for standard and DirectMount rear derailleurs. A spare screw is integrated in the frame.
(15) RockGuard – our in-house design rear derailleur protection (optional)
(16) Postmount 7” brake socket (fits 180 mm DirectMount)
(17) RockShox VividAir with 76 mm damper travel. Compression, rebound and end progression is adjustable

High value Titanium screws as standard
