The best possible performance in any kind of terrain. The Cagua 4 features the 27.5 (650 B) wheel size that has the smooth rolling feel of a 29'er with the quick handling and agility of a smaller wheel size. The frame of the 2015 Cagua 4 retools the legendary Cagua 6550. It keeps the low and nimble center of gravity and flat steering angle, but sheds 10% of the weight. A one-way ratcheting cam keeps the XT Plus derailleur from bouncing as you ride rough and technical terrain. The bike includes the LEV Integra seatpost with 125mm of travel, an adjustable return speed, and internal cable routing. And a 12mm rear axle and 15mm front axle ensure the wheels track perfectly, so the bike goes exactly where you point it. Shimano SLX brakes handle the velocity control, and for serious stopping power a combination 203mm rotor up front and a 180mm in the rear isn't an aftermarket upgrade but a stock setup.
- Reinforced, lightweight aluminum frame with sophisticated details like hydroformed tubing and specific chainstay length
- Tapered head tube is wider at the bottom for better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness offers direct, reactive steering
- Needle bearing system in the rear shock eye replaces commonly used bushings for minimum break-away torque (less force applied to activate the shock). Allows great small-bump responsiveness
- Reverse hanger technology creates more direct shifting, mounting the hanger on the inside of the chain stay, reducing bending stress during shifting
- LEV Integra seat post has 125mm of travel (100mm on the Extra Small) and adjustable return speed
- Rear shock has a responsive Climb/Trail/Descend (CTD) 3-position adjustment lever for fast adjustment to changing terrain
- Continuous cable housing so dirt and grit can't get in to affect shifting performance
- Shimano Pressfit BB system. Designed to increase stiffness and support and to reduce needed maintenance
- ISCG (International Standard Chain Guide) uses a standard 3-point system to mount the chain guides directly to the bottom bracket area, so mounting no longer requires disassembly of the bottom bracket
- Shimano Deore ST, and SLX components for fast, crisp shifting
- 12mm rear axle and 15mm front axle ensure perfect wheel tracking
- Four Bar Linkage: braking forces don't influence suspension performance, for maximum pedal efficiency and traction when ascending and descending
