FSA’s new BB30 bottom bracket and crankset<br />
system makes perfect sense, especially for<br />
mountain bikes. It’s lighter than current<br />
external-type BB systems since the bearings<br />
are pressed directly into the frame, eliminating<br />
the cups, and stiff er too, thanks to the massive<br />
30mm diameter aluminum spindle. Bearing<br />
life is increased due to the larger diameter<br />
BB shell and the fact that the bearings are<br />
back inside the shell, well protected from the<br />
elements. Dakota Elite comes spec’ed with a<br />
complete BB30 set-up. Dakota Comp off ers a<br />
BB30 shell with an adaptor for the standard<br />
threaded Shimano crankset, so when you’re<br />
ready to drop weight and increase stiff ness by<br />
upgrading to BB30, your bike is ready to go.<br />

DAKOTA. PERFORMANCE PUREBRED.<br />
The Dakota enjoys a worldwide rep for being quick and fast thanks to its lightweight, triple-butted Kinesis Superlight<br />
tubing, carbon fi ber monostay (on the Elite and Comp) and our signature tuned geometry. We made this year’s<br />
models even better with FSA’s oversize BB30 integrated crankset that’s lighter, more durable, and improves your<br />
effi ciency with increased stiff ness.<br />
We complete the package with one of the best component specs in the industry. From the high-end Dakota Elite to<br />
the entry-friendly Dakota Sport, all models off er lockout for effi cient climbing, hydraulic disc brakes for powerful and<br />
controlled braking in all conditions and full Shimano drivetrains with Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur for fl awless<br />
shifting. And with Dakota Comp Femme, we dialed frame geometry for the female physique, with appropriately<br />
sized and shaped stem, saddle and crank.<br />
Dakota. It’s seriously fast, without being serious about it.<br />
