BLUE PIG
Modern classic long travel hardball. When it appeared in 2009 it was
groundbreaking. Now for 2011, we’ve refined every single tube and component
to improve it even more, but the geometry is unchanged - with 140/150mm fork
compatiblity. Custom butted Fathead top and downtimes allow us to remove
gussets for cleaner lines, higher strength and lower weight. A tapered seat tube gives
you “dropper” compatibility with it’s 30.9mm seatpost size. The headtube uses the
44mm ID standard, allowing regular, tapered or 1.5in forks to fit - is this a steel frame
first Our unique 3-finger-bridge gets investment cast in chromoly, and matched to
Fathead chainstays, externally butted near the BB for extra strength and stiffness.
ISCG mounts get added, and the BB’s machined inside to save weight. Win. Bolt on
cable guides, fastened with stainless bolts, new profile rear stays for less weight, a
better ride and more lateral stiffness round out the features.
Blue Pig is a blend of DH stability with uphill tenacity. It’ll climb and descend with such
contradiction, you’ll be left scratching your head and grinning a lot.
BLUE PIG X
True Temper OX Platinum model of our classic Blue Pig. How do we improve on an
improved Blue Pig We go to the best steel manufacturers in the world, and work
with them on some new tubing. It’s our new Fathead tubing, but made for us in True
Temper OX Platinum - the ultimate thermophillic steel tubeset - one of those that
gets stronger when welded. The extra strength let’s us slim the walls down a little,
saving weight and improving ride over regular chromoly. Other frame details remain
the same - a tapered seat tube gives you “dropper” compatibility with it’s 30.9mm
seatpost size. The headtube uses the 44mm ID standard, allowing regular, tapered
or 1.5in forks to fit - is this a steel frame first
We didn’t stop there. Our unique 3-finger-bridge gets investment cast in chromoly,
and matched to Fathead chainstays, externally butted near the BB for extra strength
and stiffness, and we’re offering an option with DMR Swopout dropouts so you can
run Maxle, or QR. Bolt on cable guides, fastened with stainless bolts, new profile rear
stays for less weight, a better ride and more lateral stiffness round out the features.
Blue Pig X adds to the Ragley feel by losing weight and gaining ride quality. It’s
amazing.
