One of the new toys at work. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure this is the only carbon fiber 29’er with a 142x12mm rear thru-axle which means you’d be hard pressed to find a ride with better cornering abilities out on the market today. It’s also got some cool features like a kinked chainstay to reduce chain-slap and flattened seatstays - not necessarily to allow for a more compliant ride but to reduce side-to-side flex in the rear end.
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the Foundry Broadaxe.
