ARANTIX-GEEK

In the deal we arranged with the folks at Delta7sports we actually got to borrow two bikes. The second Arantix went to my good friend Carson. He is also on the Mad Dog race team and we've done most of the races together. Now he's the young and good looking bike guru delta7sports was looking for to represent them but also got stuck with the fat, old fart writing this blog. Carson is a computer programmer (therefore the Geek) and is a bit preoccupied with his new cute son Brennan. But I hope to entice him to join this blog frequently in a sort of Click and Clack discourse. What yee say Carson?

Remember; the rate limiting component in cycling is the engine. Ride on.....

The Bike

The ARANTIX is a hardtail mountain bike with a crazy web frame. The frame is made of carbon fiber in an Isotruss structure. Isotruss is a patented structural design developed through BYU. You can look up the details but the coolest thing about it is that you can see through it and would expect it to crumble. However, A primary selling point to the bike is that it is the strongest carbon fiber frame available. It has no rider limit. It is light with frame weight around 2.75 lbs. With full Shimano XTR setup (they also have SRAM set up options), XTR tubeless tires and Fox F series fork it wieghs in at 22 lbs.
