Arcturian
It might be alien to some but 29+ wheels are a real thing, especially now that you can get tires with serious tread, like a Maxxis Minion 3.0.
The Arcturian started off as an experiment…to see if it could really work. 29+ bikes have been growing in popularity, due to their ability to carry momentum and offer a soft ride when things get rough, even with a bunch of gear strapped on. The big wheels are great for long trips and adventure riding where you’re mixing up road surfaces with sections of trail. But could they also deliver as a real-deal trail bike for proper technical riding? The answer is yes. The Arcturian - a bike with our most progressive dimensions and angles, corrected for the gargantuan diameter of 29+ tires.
Gravel roads with cross ditches and log piles? Mountain passes with ridge traverses and winding descents? Technical climbs with a healthy scattering or slippery roots and edgy rocks? Descents that slab and chunk their way to the valley floor? The Arcturian is ready.
This bike has either been superseded by a new model, or retired from the fleet.
But fear not! We carry a wide variety of spares, and promise to provide support for your trusty steed for a long while yet.
a well oiled machine
If you happen to be the proud owner of a Arcturian, now might be a good time to remove your seatpost and re-grease it.
If they are left too long, galvanic corrosion can occur between the steel of the frame, and aluminium of the seatpost making it very difficult to remove.
Spare parts
We keep a wide variety of spare parts in stock for years after a frame is deprecated.
