And of course, a frame with vertical flex is a frame that reacts to a trail to absorb all those pesky little vibrations that like to jar kidneys loose. And what about the suspension fork? Get this: It doesn't have one. Reason's fork is pure chromoly goodness, every straight, strong, stiff inch of it. Avid BB5 disc brakes and FR 5 levers provide sure stopping power and controlled deceleration no matter the terrain or weather conditions. But don't be mistaken, the parts Reason does have are all first cabin, built for nothing but hard-riding performance. Features premium Synros handlebar and stem, and FSA Orbit headset for superior steering control and durability. Frame geometry is assertive, with a long top tube to minimize wheely affect when you're pushing uphill and a long wheel base for stability in descents. Horizontal (BMX-style) rear dropouts let you adjust the seating of the rear wheel, for tensioning the chain around the single BMX 17T cog. KingKong Alloy hubs and WTB SpeedDisc rims, with I-beam/double-wall construction, are the right choice for fast rides over rugged trails. No fancy shoes required—BMX Platform pedals let you get on and go. Now, isn't that Reason enough for some real fun?. Our all-new Novara Reason is a limited edition, built for riders who want a super-simple, super-tough bike to reinvigorate their backcountry riding. Reason comes with Truvativ's hardy Firex 1.1 crankset and Giga Pipe bottom bracket, because, let's face it, you'll be standing and grinding. So what's so different about Reason? Try, like it has only one gear—yeah one, like olden days—set in the sweet spot with a 33T ring. Steel tubing is double-butted (thick at the ends, narrowing once toward the middle) to save weight and provide an incredibly resilient ride. Syncros Derived seatpost supports WTB's anatomically designed Pure V Comp performance saddle. We admit it, this bike isn't for everyone.
