RAAW Mountain Bikes Yalla! 29" Frameset

The RAAW Mountain Bikes Yalla! frameset for ambitious racers on downhill tracks

The Yalla! frameset from RAAW Mountain Bikes is your basis for a downhill bike that you can optimally adapt to different race tracks and your riding style. The frame delivers 198 mm of travel and was designed to wrest crucial seconds from the Champéry World Cup downhill course. Of course, the Yalla! also shines in other ways. It offers you an unbeatable number of possibilities to adjust small settings that can be decisive for the track ahead: you can alter the chainstay length by replacing the thru-axle and inserts at the dropout. With the help of different headset cups you can adjust the reach and also the head tube angle. But that's not all: the ball-bearing lower shock mount can also be changed, which allows you to adjust the bottom bracket height and fine-tune the progression.
Too many options for you for now? Then enjoy your riding experience using the standard setup! In this, the gear ratio starts just below 3.1:1 and then draws an even characteristic curve through the suspension travel up to a progression of 25%. High pedalling efficiency at low suspension travel is ensured by the high anti-squat value, which steadily decreases with increasing travel. The anti-rise is relatively constant at just over 50% and thus offers you a balanced characteristic when braking.
As usual with RAAW, well thought-out elements attest to a high level of attention to detail. The frame design gives mud the cold shoulder and is easy to clean. Completely external cable routing simplifies maintenance and allows for quick repairs. Protective rubber elements on the down tube and chainstay as well as on the inside of the right seat stay do their job, as do the extra-long bump stops that allow for different fork offsets and also serve as cable guides. The two threads at the bottom of the top tube can be used to attach a small tool bag if required. The disc brake mount is a separate component and is designed for 203 mm brake rotors as standard. The special headset and hardware for mounting the shock are already included.
