Let's get something clear the Stumpjumper EVO Alloy isn't a 'normal' trail bike. It's built to get gnarly plain and simple. Featuring the same all-new design as its carbon brethren—including an adjustable head tube angle 150mm of performance tuned travel the adaptability of S-Sizing and SWAT™ Door integration—in a lightweight yet tough M5 Alloy chassis you're going to be able to bomb down trails that you thought you couldn't touch without a full-blown DH rig.The Stumpjumper EVO Elite Alloy is built to brawl no question. With a bullet-proof SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain stout 30mm-wide alloy wheels and Rx Tuned Fox FLOAT Factory suspension there’s no trail too rowdy. All the travel in the world is useless without the proper shock tuning and kinematics. For the new Stumpjumper EVO design we prioritized kinematic performance. Applying lessons learned while developing the Enduro then following that with more than 1000 hours of field and suspension lab development we’ve not only improved the pedaling performance of the Stumpjumper but we’ve made it more capable agile and lively. We increased anti-squat so the suspension better resists pedal bob and we further improved bump performance on square-edge hits. Bottom line? This thing shreds trails not legs. The S-Sizing geometry of the new Stumpjumper EVO is our most progressive yet. Long low slack short offset fork steeper seat tube angle – these are requirements for modern progressive riding. But not everyone jibs the same way which is why the geo on the new Stumpjumper EVO is fully adjustable with six different settings. You can adjust the BB height by 10mm you can adjust your head angle by two-degrees and you can make these adjustments independently of each other. Finally if you want to go full-party mullet-mode the EVO lets you run a 27.5-inch rear wheel mated with a 29-inch front. Rider-First Engineered™ frames use a size-specific approach to ride characteristics that ensures benchmark handling and flawless performance regardless of frame or rider size. Whether you’re a jump-happy grom riding an S1 or a DH-fiend giant in need of the lengthy S6 you’ll experience the same ride traits – rail-sharp cornering and balanced front and rear stiffness – at the lightest-possible weight. We introduced the SWAT™ door on the Stumpjumper in 2016 adding room IN your frame for those “oh sh**t” necessities like pumps and spare tubes and immediately rendering jersey pockets redundant.

All too often corners are cut to meet price-points in the entry-level road bike market but the Allez redefines what it means to be 'entry level.' Focusing on weight refinement and reliability like nothing else in its class the Allez is the first to make these technologies accessible to everyone. Whether you're just getting into road cycling commuting or looking for a new bike the Allez is just as performance-packed as it is versatile For the build this Allez features SRAM's Rival 22 shifting that delivers tremendous performance and value durable DT R460 alloy wheels our new super-comfy Body Geometry Bridge saddle and well-protected RoadSport tires. Not only does a lightweight bike feel better when you're climbing up a hill but it's also essential when you're carrying your bike up to the 5th floor and this was at the forefront of the frame design. With a redesigned E5 Alloy frame the Allez features a class-leading weight. Aggressively thin-walled yet tough tubes have been implemented to save weight and this results in over a 450g (1-pound) reduction in the frame and fork alone when compared to some models of yesteryear. Entry-level road bikes often times feature either alloy or cheap carbon fiber forks that greatly detract from the overall ride quality. But with a full FACT carbon fiber fork the Allez is better handling smoother riding and lower in weight—floating over rough chip-seal and carving through corners like a slalom skier. For the geometry we developed the Allez by utilizing our vast Retül fit database. This meant creating a geometry that's sure to cover a broad range of positions while still providing the performance-minded handling you'd expect from your first bike. This Allez also features integrated rack and fender mounts allowing you to get weight of your backpack off you and onto a lightweight rack. This not only makes for a good road bike but it also enables you to transform it into a fast commuter.

A new biodegradable model made in food-grade squeezable polyethylene. This year Elite welcomes a new special bottle model in its cycling range the Jet made in biodegradable plastic material. Available in three sizes so it adapts to any of your hydration needs on your bicycle (550 750 and 950 ml) the Jet combines the best in quality and performance of the most appreciated Elite bottles such as lightness copious liquid flow and tasteless nozzle all the while integrating the use of biodegradable plastic material to lessen the environmental impact of the bottle. The BIO alternative for your hydration Creating more sustainable alternatives for products such as sports bottles which are already an eco-friendly approach compared to the classic one-time use bottle has become an ever-more pressing requirement due to the raised awareness on the use of plastics and its consequences on the environment.The Jet bottle meets these requirements as it reduces the time it takes for the bottle to break down once it enters the regular industrial composting cycles thus becoming one of the most innovative alternatives to traditional non-biodegradable plastic bottles. The plastic material used to create the Jet is treated with a special bio additive that makes the microorganisms responsible for the biodegradation of materials attack the polymeric chain of the plastic. This process significantly reduces the time it takes for the bottle to break down (3 months to 5 years). This is something that regular plastic products cannot do (they usually take 100 to 1000 years to decompose). A new sophisticated design The bottle has a new sporty sophisticated and practical design that made it possible for us to achieve greater resistance for the bottle body while retaining unaltered its lightness and softness. Distinguished by an elegant and sinuous profile the Jet comes with a contoured bottle body with smaller diameter for easier and improved handling insertion and removal of the water bottle under any circumstance.The standard 74 mm diameter of the Jet (66mm for the 350ml version) ensures it can be used with all the commercially available bottlecages. A quick and abundant flow The Jet bottle includes the Elite custom cap with the innovative push-pull nozzle which doesn't just make it easier to open and close it when you're riding your bike it is also designed to supply a quicker and more abundant liquid flow at any time.The opening quick to unscrew makes it easier to wash and dry out the bottle. Safe and odorless As with all Elite bottles the Jet is also made with certified BPA-Free (Bisphenol-A) plastic materials totally safe and compliant with all the more restrictive EC and FDA regulations concerning products that come into contact with foodstuffs. The rubber nozzle of the bottle boasts an innovative odorless and tasteless material designed to effectively maintain the taste of the liquid unaltered.

Jet Green is Elite's new bottle with plant-origin bioplastic made from sugar cane. This bio-based bottle is just one of the many projects kickstarted by elite to make the manufacturing cycles of its cycling products range more sustainable.Jet Green is a practical re-usable and performing bottle - it's also eco-friendly thanks to its bio-plastic bottle body. Read more about this bottle's features. First off what is bio-plastic? The bio-plastic made from sugar cane is defined as bio-based as it's not petroleum-based but comes from plant biological sources. In this case from sugar cane.The bio-based ethanol used for the bottle body Jet Green is a great substitute for petroleum to make products that can ensure the same properties of traditional plastics in terms of resistance but with reduced environmental impact in terms of emissions. Sustainable environmental footprint Manufacturing bio-plastic bottles is one of the many aspects we invested in to make the production of our bottles more sustainable. The goal is to become totally carbon neutral that is not just reducing but compensating the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere as a result of the oxygen supply caused by sugar cane farming.To understand its advantages in terms of emissions just think of the manufacture of a thousand bottles. To produce a thousand Jet Green from sugar cane we were able to reduce the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere of about 160 kg which is roughly 3 kg. of CO2 for each kg. of plastics produced.This is also achieved as the sugar cane used for the Jet Green comes from sustainable farming that is not from deforestation. Thanks to its great reproductive qualities sugar cane grows in abundance also over smaller farming areas. …And it’s practical with its copious liquid flow Other than being more eco-friendly compared to traditional plastic bottles the Jet Green is also practical to use while you're cycling.The cap features the same technology used for the manufacture of the Fly bottles ensuring quick and copious liquid flow while you're hydrating on a bicycle. Other than the soft bottle body made in squeezable material drinking from it is easy also because of the practical push-pull nozzle easy to open and close just by using your mouth which is perfect for sports competitions.Unscrewing the cap makes it easy to wash and dry the bottle after each use. Ask for it in your local cycling store! Main features Bottle body made from plant-based sources Dishwasher safe (Max. 75°) BPA Free
