Hardtail Cross Country
Ortles 297+ is a carbon hardtail with 100 mm front suspension, specifically designed for cross-country riding. Lightweight, fast, and easy to handle, it delivers high performance even on the most technical trails, giving riders confidence and precise control in every situation.
Frame Design and Integration
Built around a PressFit 92 bottom bracket, the Ortles 297+ ensures efficient power transfer and a solid pedaling platform. The integrated tapered headset (1 1/8” upper, 1 1/2” lower) enhances front-end stiffness and steering precision, while the frame is fully compatible with Di2 electronic shifting, allowing high-end component upgrades.
Boost Technology
The rear stay is compact and reactive, channeling vibrations onto the top tube to reduce rider fatigue. Its Boost 148 mm rear spacing is designed to handle stress perfectly, guaranteeing exceptional performance under all riding conditions and maintaining stability on technical XC trails.
Precision Suspension and Handling
At the front, the RS Judy TK Air 29 fork with 100 mm travel and thru-axle design smooths trail chatter, absorbs impacts, and improves steering accuracy, allowing confident control on descents, roots, and rocky terrain.
