Description

The WI.DE (Winding Detours) targets bigger tyres than the Open's other bike the U.P, without compromising speed. Thanks to its efficient rider position, the WI.DE. is deceptively fast on-road despite the big tyres. This always surprises first-time WI.DE. riders. So great fun on-road and no limits off-road.   The eye-catching double-drop chainstays create a very efficient box-shape behind the BB. This increases stiffness, reduces weight and boosts tyre clearance. This design maximizes tyre clearance and allows for a front-derailleur-free frame design for 1x setups. Using 1x cranks, there is no inner ring or front derailleur to limit tyre clearance. As a result, the WI.DE. comfortably accepts 46mm on 700c wheels.   Wire-Stays Vertically thin chainstays and seatstays provide compliance, while their lateral width and layup ensure rock-solid propulsion. Truly the best of both worlds.   Flat-Out Downtube The downtube drives stiffness, connecting your steering centre your drivetrain. The flat sides places strips of ultra-high modulus carbon where it matters most.   Zero-Setback Seattube A zero-offset seatpost is lighter & more efficient, so we have designed our seattube angle such that most riders can use a zero-offset rather than an off-set seatpost.   Internal Routing Internal cables & hoses through the frame stay clean & protected and frankly, they look better. In the cockpit they are exposed for easy maintenance and travel.   Thruthread Dropouts Lock bolt secures the hanger in the frame using the same threads that secure the thru axle on the other side. Simpler, lighter & optimized for the stiffest thru-axle: Syntace X-12.   Smart-Mount 160 The brake caliper attaches directly to the frame, positioned for 160mm discs. Just like on the U-Turn fork. No adaptors or spacers and extra hardware required. Lighter, stiffer, safer.   Custom Built By Merlin At Merlin Cycles, custom-built bikes aren’t just a product they’re a passion.
