Trail

Enduro

The RAPCON with its 150 / 150 or 170 / 165 mm of travel loves demanding trails and enduro tracks. With its 29" wheels, this bike likes it super fast. The well-balanced geometry, the extra low centre of gravity and the solid suspension keep riders safe in the saddle even in extreme situations. The RAPCON is super efficient on the uphill on your next training session – only to put a big smile on your face on the next downhill.

Details

Are you ready for maximum mountain bike action? To finally experience the ultimate flow on the trails? Then you’re in for a treat! You’re now getting high-end level full-suspension technology – in the new Rapcon.

The size-specific and moderately long chainstay allows for optimal wheel load distribution. In addition, there is always enough pressure on the front and rear wheel to get a good grip between the tyres and the ground.

Features

The Balanced Geometry improves riding smoothness and grip and allows for a relaxed riding position. This makes the bike faster and more agile, yet still safe.

Any summit can be conquered with ease thanks to the carbon frame including a hollow carbon rocker.

The combination of an extra-low centre of gravity due to the low-positioned shock and the low top tube ensures maximum freedom of movement and agile handling.

A clean look and protection for the cables: That's what the Smart Headset ensures. Thanks to advanced internal cable routing technology, all cables are routed from the handlebars into the frame via the special headset.

Equipped with a Storage Box and the possibility of combining it with a large bottle cage, the Rapcon offers convenient extras that are a joy to use on demanding trails.

Technology

SIMPLON's technologies are ingenious and smart. Everything you need on the trail comes with you in the Storage Box: Tools, power bars and more are cleverly stored inside the frame of the bike.

Xi Geometry stands for the frame-size-specific length of the chainstays, which ensures an even wheel load distribution and thus safety and optimal handling.

Rider weight and size affect the kinematics of the bike. Xi Kinematics guarantee consistent suspension performance no matter the frame size.
