Orange 224-EVO Frame

What can we say about the 22X series that hasn’t already been said by a string
of world champions, hundreds of privateer racers and a seriously enthusiastic
biking press? It’s simple – just like its legendary predecessors, the 2009 224-
evolution is designed and built for off-the-peg downhill speed and competition
victory at every level.

At the heart of the 224-evolution lies massively stiff but lightweight front
and rear ends, joined by our famously reliable and slop-free oversized single-
pivot assembly. A wide axle clamp area enhances already phenomenal tracking,
while the 224-evolution’s eccentric headtube system and adjustable shock mount
enable independent tweaking of the bike’s head angle, wheelbase and bottom
bracket height – perfect for individual riding styles or terrain and gradients
that change from course to course.

The end result is breathtaking – a super-plush, super-stiff yet highly
manoeuvrable DH bike, equally at home on the international and domestic race
circuits or pinning it just for fun. But don’t take our word for it – take a
look around and believe what you see.
