UPPER PRO10 LINK MADE OF CARBON
On our Hugene, we manufacture the upper link of the PRO10 system from carbon to optimize the weight of the frame. This also allows for the link to be painted in the frame color and rounds off the design.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Cable ducts run through the frame of our Hugene 2, which not only protect the cables from dirt and eliminate annoying rattling, but also make cable routing very easy.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
The robust Acros frame bearings are additionally protected by our PROPAIN dirt shields. An extra seal protects the underlying bearings from dust, water, and dirt.
PERFECTLY PROTECTED
To keep your frame protected at all times, our Hugene 2 comes with a custom chainstay and downtube protectors. The chainstay protector absorbs chain vibrations and minimizes noise.
BOTTLE AND TOOL-MOUNT
A good trail bike of course needs the ability to carry enough hydration and the most necessary equipment for a long day on the bike. The less weight in the backpack or hip bag the better. The bottle mount on the down tube and the tool mount on the bottom of the top tube provide the perfect platform for this.
A REAL EYE-CATCHER
Whether pedaling uphill or going down fast, our Hugene 2 always keeps a cool head. And off the trail it’s just a natural beauty.
We are convinced that it is not enough to just use one good carbon material for a frame. Instead, it needs different carbon materials and their diverse properties to meet the requirements. PROPAIN carbon frames are made from pre-impregnated (prepreg) carbon layers. These guarantee an optimum resin content and thus ensure significantly higher strength values. Each of the layers has special properties and corresponding tasks at specific points of the frame. Based on the requirements for stiffness, flexibility, impact resistance, weight, strength and the direction of stress, different fibers and fabrics are used. PROPAIN uses only the highest quality materials. For example, the carbon fibers used in our frames are the same as those used in the latest generation of aviation components.
