The LINKIN 135 is a pure workhorse and an ideal daily driver to escape the city buzz to your local trails. A 140/135mm short-travel version of the beloved LINKIN platform, this bike carries all performance capabilities from its bigger sibling, but in an extremly efficient and agile manner. Pedaling, pumping, and jumping- the more you push the bike, the more the IST-VP suspension design will reward you. The 3-way TracLoc adjustment (Open, Traction, and Lockout Mode) comes in handy to keep your horses on the ground further aiding in making the LINKIN 135 an absolute singletrail weapon!
Features:
INTERNAL SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY
Frame stiffness, lowest center of gravity and optimum shock performance are the key benefits to our Internal Suspension Technology. The condition of the rear shock has a significant impact on suspension performance. The shock is always protected from dirt, water and crashes to ensure it is functioning at its best. As a result, the bike benefits from better handling, longer shock service intervals and a more stable, confidence inspiring ride.
IST VP
With the shock placed internally, we are able to design an ultra compact linkage system for low weight and high stiffness. The linkage is directly attached to the shock and mounted to an axle inside the frame, meaning the suspension pivots no longer have to be constructed around the frame. This makes our link shorter than any other traditional suspension platform.
REAR SHOCK
Accessing the shock is possible via a cover in the down tube area. This makes it easy to adjust rebound, compression, shock pressure as well as access to the cable of the TracLoc Suspension System. Shock bolts are easily accessible from the outside. The UNPLUGGED comes with a FOX FLOAT X NUDE shock, giving 160 mm or of rear wheel travel in combination with the TracLoc Suspension System. Using a Virtual Pivot linkage design improves the suspension feel, pedaling and braking response to work with maximum efficiency. Our kinematic suspension curve gives supple small bump sensitivity and therefore exceptional traction characteristics, perfect support in the mid-stroke and a controlled deep stroke for perfect bottom out control.
TRAVEL INDICATOR
Setting the right sag can easily be done via a magnet equipped travel indicator on the outside. The end stroke travel can also be checked on the smartly designed travel indicator for perfect bottom out control.
TRACLOC
TracLoc manages the sag effect in several ways. Whereas most systems only increase low-speed compression in an effort to gain pedaling efficiency, TracLoc allows you to not only change compression damping, but also to change the spring curve, dynamically altering the geometry of the bike. In Traction mode, the shock is not only firmer, but it has dynamically less travel. The bike sits higher, maintains a steep seat angle for those climbs, and becomes more agile. In addition, the UNPLUGGED has a third mode with a full lockout for going up the steepest trails in the most efficient manner possible.
INTEGRATED TOOLS
The integration concept features a clever storage solution for tools inside the frame which is easily accessible by opening the downtube cover. The kit includes a spare tube, mini pump and tire levers to save your day, in case of a flat tire. Accidents will and do happen. To get you back on the trail fast, the Syncros Multi-Tool is hidden inside the frame covering most emergencies. There for when you unfortunately need it. The bike is equipped with a rear axle tool which features a T25, T30 and a 6 allen key all in one. With these three options you can adjust all pivot hardware and nearly everything else there is to adjust on the bicycle.
FLIP CHIP
Having the ability to tune the bottom bracket height and head angle allows you to optimize the geometry and handling for you and your rides. With the Flip Chip on the Bold VarioTec you can change the bottom bracket height by +/-5 mm giving the UNPLUGGED frame the availability to be customized off-the-shelf.
HEAD ANGLE ADJUST
With the UNPLUGGED, you can also adjust the head angle by +/-1 degree slacker or steeper. This can be done without cutting cables or bleeding brakes. All you must do is disassemble the bar, rotate the headset cups 180 degrees, and reassemble.
DROPPER POST
Incredible dropper post compatibility and unlimited positioning possibilities thanks to the horizontal layout of the rear shock in combination with the Internal Suspension Technology. Meaning a 200mm travel dropper coupled with a slammed seat position is no problem for the UNPLUGGED.
