XMS - CROSS MOUNTAIN SYSTEM
With the XMS system the ROTWILD chassis specialists designed an outstanding chassis with 120 mm to 175 mm suspension travel for the Cross Country, All Mountain or Enduro use, which convinces with sovereign riding performance and high efficiency. The XMS chassis is the result of extensive testing in the laboratory and on the trails: Together with top athletes and technology partners our engineers optimized the fine-tuning of the XMS system and adapted the kinematic system with its pivot points to the versatile concept of the bikes. The rear end remains fully active and independent of riding influences in all riding conditions. Furthermore the rear end linkage is adapted to an increased lever ratio. This prevents the rear end from sagging – the dynamic of the rear end does not get lost in fast turns and curves, or flowing trail sections. To ROTWILD integrative chassis conception also means, that the particularly coordinated FOX rear shocks are perfectly coordinated with the frame and the kinematic. Even with small impacts the sensitive responding behaviour is displayed, with large bumps and leaps the progressive response curve has a positive effect. Highly efficient in climbs, plenty of reserves in the descent.
The submersible fork in addition to the optional, submersible seat post supports this conceptual requirement at the versatility of an All Mountain chassis. Because with this the chassis can be adapted fast and problemfree to different riding conditions:
- Submersed fork combined with the full length of the seat post: The climbing position with steeper steering angle puts more pressure onto the front wheel, giving the bike a better guidance and a more agile steering behaviour during climbs.
- The entire suspension travel of the fork together with the submersed seat post: The steering angle becomes flatter in the descents, the seating position within the bike becomes overall lower. This results in an increase of smoothness, and more control at high speed, and challenging riding situations.
- The entire suspension travel of the fork and full length of the seat post: The cross country or touring position. Due to the balanced seating position dynamic, however relaxed riding is possible.
