[Variable Chainstay]
In contrast to traditional road bikes with only standard tire width options and short chainstays, the GF series caters to a variety of tire widths and performance needs. To surpass the limits of needing long chainstays for wide tires, we designed an adjustable rear dropout system, V-CS, capable of ten length settings ranging from 410mm to 425mm.

The V-CS system can be fine tuned to suit a variety of riding needs. Short chainstays provide the advantages and performance of a racing frame’s geometry. Longer chainstay length results in more stability when turning or traveling long distances, and also fits larger tires (650b x 2.25”) that work wonderfully on rugged terrain.

[Multiple Tire Sizes]
In response to different needs for different terrain, the DARE GF series accommodates several types of tires. Other than 700 x 25c to the largest 700 x 45c road bike tire sets, mountain bike tires from 2.1” to 650b x 2.25” also fit the GFX. If tires smaller than 700 x 33c are installed, a fork cap on the inner side of the GFX’s fork helps keep the bike’s form clean.

[14 Degree Flare Handlebar]
To top off the GFX’s amazing handling, DARE developed the ERGO 14, flared handlebars that offer high maneuverability when moving downhill over rough terrain.

[Lower Position Battery]
Di2 batteries can be mounted on the down tube near the bottom bracket, maintaining the bike’s clean aesthetic and allowing seat post adjustment for various terrain requirements, as well as the installation of dropper posts.
