Combining the comfort and resilience of our Stratocrom steel frame with the roll-over capabilities of a 29” wheelset, Tanami is built to travel far over a variety of terrain types—from smooth roads to the chunkiest singletrack sections. As part of our Expedition series, Tanami is designed to explore further: integrated stainless steel racks provide rattle-free storage space while a choice of drivetrain types, components, and colors let you make Tanami truly yours.
The Thermocrom tube set takes our frame construction to the next level. By heat treating the steel, we can strategically use thinner-walled tubes in certain areas, reducing weight without compromising durability. We can tailor the classic ride characteristics of each frame to its specific application, optimizing weight and stiffness. Thermocrom shares virtually all the properties of our Dedacciai tubes, but represents a massive reduction in the overall carbon footprint of your bike by reducing the shipping of raw materials and tubes between countries.
28" wheels offer a balanced mix of comfort, lightness and speed - perfect for trekking bikes. Compared to 29", they are slightly more agile, accelerate faster and are well suited for mixed routes and everyday use.
29“ wheels are basically 28” wheels with wide tires and shine with high riding comfort and good traction, especially off-road or on long tours - but with slightly less agility. They roll particularly well over bumps and are therefore ideal for rough terrain. Due to the larger volume of the tires on 29" wheels, you can ride with lower air pressure, which also increases riding comfort.
Choosing the right wheel size essentially depends on the intended use, personal preferences in terms of riding characteristics and the availability of spare parts.
Bolted to the frame at four points, the E-Expedition Rack made of CrMo 4130 steel is very robust and is painted in two coats in our in-house powder coating plant for optimum protection against corrosion. The optional, modular EX-Rail system has already proven itself on our frame-integrated Expedition Rack II and offers three configurations:
Stay fast and light by using the E-Expedition Rack on its own. Mount the stainless steel EX-Rails for more stability and less wear. This moves the load down and further back to increase heel clearance and lower the center of gravity. Attach the optional Quick-Lock3 mounting kit and enjoy the benefits of Ortlieb's fastest and easiest bag attachment system.
The 3in1 dropout enables maximum drive flexibility: derailleur or hub gears can be easily converted. Thanks to the modular sandwich design, you can also switch from chain to belt drive. Everything is invisibly and aesthetically integrated, without compromising on design. Ideal for versatile adaptations to your bike.
The belt drive is low-maintenance as it requires no oil and is less susceptible to dirt. It also runs quieter and cleaner. The compatibility of the belt with the matching frame and hub gears or transmission makes it more expensive to purchase and more difficult to repair or replace.
The chain drive scores with efficiency and universal applicability. It enables precise power transmission and is compatible with all derailleur gears that offer many gears. However, it requires regular maintenance and is susceptible to wear and dirt. Noise and potential soiling of clothing are also negative points.
Conclusion: The chain drive is suitable for versatility and performance, the belt drive for low maintenance and suitability for everyday use. The choice depends on personal preference and intended use.
The Tanami Road, located in the heart of Australia, stretches for an impressive 1,000 kilometers. It crosses the remote Tanami Desert, which is characterized by its endless red sand dunes and fascinating flora and fauna. The sweltering heat and lonely silence lend the landscape a mystical atmosphere that attracts explorers in search of untouched nature and the magic of the outback, while at the same time posing great challenges for people and equipment.
