Technology

Look
closer.

Six systems make the Glenwood 27.5 what it is. Scroll to go through them one at a time.

01 — Frame

6061 alloy, welded in our own plant.

Every tube is cut, welded and heat-treated twice before it reaches paint, so the frame stays light and keeps its line.

Material
6061 alloy
Heat treatment
T4 + T6
Cables
Routed inside the frame

02 — Suspension

A fork you can lock in a turn.

The Suntour fork soaks up broken road. Turn the dial on the crown and it locks firm for smooth tarmac.

03 — Brakes

One finger is enough.

Hydraulic discs stop the same in rain as in dry. Fluid does the work, so the lever feel doesn't fade.

Brakes
Shimano MT200
Type
Hydraulic disc

04 — Gears

Shimano, front and rear.

A Shimano Altus derailleur at the back and Tourney at the front move the chain cleanly, on a climb or in traffic.

05 — Wheels

CST Jack Rabbit tyres grip on gravel and roll fast on road, on double-wall alloy rims with Quando hubs.

Manufacturing

From tube
to bike.

01 — Materials

Checked before it's used.

Every delivery of tube, components and hardware is measured in the materials inspection area before it reaches the line.

02 — Cut

Cut and formed in-house.

Tube is cut to length and pressed into shape on our own machines, not bought in as finished parts.

03 — Weld

Welded on fixed jigs.

Alloy and steel frames are welded on jigs that hold every joint in the same place, frame after frame.

180,000 Frame welding capacity · 80,000 alloy, 100,000 steel

04 — Align

Bent, then set straight.

Stays and forks are bent on formers and each frame is checked against its drawing after heat treatment.

220,000 Rigid fork welding capacity

05 — Test

Loaded until it would fail.

Frames, forks and wheels go on the fatigue and impact rigs in our mechanical test lab.

06 — Paint

Painted and cured on one line.

Frames are phosphated, sprayed and cured on a single conveyor, so nothing is handled between coats.

500,000 Paint line capacity, sets

Cranks, brakes, gears and cables are fitted station by station and torque-checked as they go.
