The Smoothie HP is the “high protein” version of our Smoothie road frame that was part of our line for almost 20 years. Extra large diameter, thin-wall Tange Prestige chromoly coupled with modern touches like thru-axles and compact geometry give this frame increased power transfer and road feel while still delivering a composed and plush ride at all speeds. The re-designed geometry combines a comfortable higher stack with a shorter wheelbase that rewards skillful riders. Frame Features: Tange Prestige heat-treated double butted CrMo steel Extra oversized down tube and chainstays for greater pedaling stiffness Ovalized top tube for increased lateral stiffness and vertical compliance Size specific tubing (Larger diameter down tubes on the larger sizes) Comfortable high stack matched with a tighter wheelbase than the typical big brand endurance road frame Replaceable modular dropouts (12 x 142mm bolt-on thru-axle, flat mount disc brake) BSA Threaded bottom bracket shell Rear rack/fender mounts Max tire size: 700x32c with fenders Two water bottle boss sets Fork Features: Carbon Fiber 43mm rake (48mm on size 48 and 52cm) Fits 700x32 tires with fenders 12 x 100mm QR thru-axle, flat mount brake compatible Tapered alloy steerer Internal cable routing
