Features
High-quality materials. Innovative design. Passionate craftsmanship. Through carefully selected components we create a product like no other.
Frame Tubeset
Thermocrom Tubeset
The Thermocrom tubeset brings our frame construction to the next level. Heat treating the steel allows us to strategically use thinner wall tubing in certain, areas reducing weight without sacrificing durability. We can fine-tune the classic steel ride of each frame to its specific application, balancing weight, stiffness, and compliance. Thermocrom shares virtually all of the characteristics of our Dedacciai tubing, but represents a massive reduction in your bike's overall carbon footprint due to a reduction in the shipment of the raw materials and tubing between countries.
Belt/Chain Tensioning System
Tout Terrain TBA III (pivotable for Pinion)
The TBA pinion bridge is like an eccentric bottom bracket, but for frames that use a Pinion gearbox. The third version of our TBA is lighter, stiffer, and offers increased tire clearance over previous versions. Updated geometry also makes the welded connection to the frame tubing more robust. The TBA works by rotating the gearbox around its central pivot by turning a simple adjustment screw. The TBA rotates the gearbox eccentrically, thus tensioning the chain or belt. This lets us use fixed dropouts rather than more complex sliding or rotating designs. Because the rear wheel is in a fixed position, wheel alignment is consistent and the rear fender is always perfectly aligned and with the wheel and tire.
Shifting System
Pinion Gearbox
The sealed Pinion gearbox is centrally located in the frame, resulting in a low center of gravity and the superb riding experience. Because of the weight distribution, the bicycle handles with exceptionally agility and dynamics. Depending on the application, the gear ratio spans from the urban C1.6 6-gear gearbox with an overall ratio of 295% to the P1.18 premium model with 18 gears and an overall ratio of 636%. Ergonomically, it is suited to both short and long rides with stance widths (Q-factor) of just 166 for C-line and 174 millimeters for P-Line gearboxes. It allows for both sporty as well as efficient riding, as the pedaling power is applied directly into the drivetrain.
Wheel Size
27.5" (650B)
The 27.5" (or 650B) wheel size is a great addition to the world of wheel sizes. It allows for extreme versatility and offers an ideal balance between on-road and off-road use. Situated between the classic 26" and 28" (700C) wheel sizes, 27.5" tires are a compromise – in a positive sense. On the plus side, they offer better rolling characteristics and more elegant looks compared to a 26" setup, and more comfort than narrower 28" (700C) tires. These tires also have a significantly lower rotating mass than modern, large-volume 29" tires and thus offer a more lively, more agile riding experience. For us, the 27.5" tires are used in sporty all-road models and in the off-road sector.
Finish
T-Coat powder coating
Every frame is painted in-house with our robust and high-quality T-Coat powder coating process. This ensures a beautiful and durable finish even under the toughest conditions. The T-Coat consists of one, two or three layers depending on the component - this allows us to optimize the surface, weight and corrosion characteristics for each use case.
Drivetrain Type
Belt Compatible
Free yourself from oily, rusty chains and join the Gates Carbon Drive revolution: Clean, quiet, rugged. Almost no other component has advanced the bicycle as a mode of low-maintenance transport as much as the Gates Carbon Drive belt. Particularly when used year-round, you'll be pleased with its low maintenance as periodic cleaning is all that's required. Belts even last two to three times longer than a chain. Tout Terrain was one of the first manufacuters to offer bicycles with belt drives, and with more than 10 years of experience we have optimized our frames for this purpose. Unlike a chain which can ""unlink"" to fit onto a bike, a belt is seamless, so the frame must "open" to allow it to fit onto the drivetrain. Our belt-specific dropout design is an integral part of the frame and very discrete. The connection is made of stainless steel and will provide a lifetime of reliability.
Frame Features
Expedition Features
Exceptional attention to detail make this our most feature-rich Expedition frame to date:
- 4 bottle mounts for more water- and cargo-carrying capacity
- Internal wiring channels through the top-tube and Expedition rack
- Frame-lock mounts and optional pack-roll stop for security on the go
- 3D dropout design and construction (belt-compatible) with 12x142 mm thru-axle for Derailleur, Rohloff and Pinion drivetrains
- Updated chainstay yolk/bridge is lighter and stiffer
- Larger diameter, internally-butted head tube increase stiffnes with no weight penalty
- Machined bottom-bracket shell / Updated Pinion Bridge on Xplore models
