| I want to attach bags. What will it do to the frame finish? |
Curve's steel frames are finished with high-quality and durable paint, but the paint is not unaffected by rubbing from bike bags or rock strikes etc. If you want to keep your paint looking pristine, we recommend that you use some kind of protective film - especially in the high-wear areas where bag straps are in direct contact with the frame. Stock Ti frames are not painted, but bag rub will affect the surface finish. The lighter, brushed, finish can be refreshed using a fine abrasive pad, but the darker blasted finish can only be refinished by media blasting. To keep your Ti frame looking pristine, we recommend using protective film. |
| I want to get a custom frame bag made. Can you give me the frame dimensions? | Of course! Have a look at our bagmaker page HERE where you can download full-scale PDFs showing the internal dimensions of all our frame models. |
Meet the DownRock
The DownRock is our take on a modern hardtail mountain bike. Born from our love of riding local mountaibike trails and singletrack in Melbourne, this titanium frame is suited to anything from fast flow trails to blasting down technical downhill. It's not designed for gravel or bikepacking - this bike shines when pointed downhill. The DownRock geometry is optimised around a 130 mm travel fork and is compatible with up to 150 mm.
Drop It Like It’s hot
The seat tubes are short in order to accommodate the latest generation of long travel dropper posts (170 mm - 210 mm). This is especially advantageous on a hardtail as your legs act as the rear suspension.
Balanced
Bottle cage mounts are placed low inside the front triangle and underneath the downtube to maintain the lowest possible centre of gravity and to give room in the front triangle for a frame bag if required.
Scaled Geometry
Front and rear centres are scaled proportionally across the sizes in order to provide the same ride and handling characteristics across a range of rider heights. This is especially important for riders with longer inseams as it prevents the saddle from sitting too far behind above the rear wheel.
Re-route it
Full external Cable routing for ease of maintenance, quiet operation and maximum frame integrity (Seatpost stealth routing for dropper)
