Key Technologies
D-Fuse System: The D-shaped seatpost and handlebar are designed to flex slightly under vertical load, soaking up road buzz without needing complex mechanical dampers.
OverDrive Aero: This model marked the shift to the D-shaped steerer tube, which allows the brake hoses to run neatly alongside the stem rather than hanging in the wind.
12-Speed Gearing: The 11-36T cassette is a lifesaver for endurance riders, providing very small jumps between gears on the flat but a massive "rescue gear" for 15%+ gradients.
