Furtado MY24-MY25

The Furtado will fit up to a 220mm rotor. The frame is 180mm-direct, so that's the minimum size that's compatible.

The frame is UDH-compatible, but comes with our own machined aluminum hanger. You can replace it with another Santa Cruz hanger or a SRAM UDH.

CC frames use the very best carbon materials available. C Carbon frames have all the same features but the trade off for a little less $ is a little more weight. Both versions are made in our own factory, are just as strong and stiff as one another. And both feature our lifetime warranty.

The Furtado MX comes with two bags - a tube purse and a tool wallet. You should be able to fit a superlight tube, a small pump, tire lever, and misc odds and ends in these two bags.

The Furtado is designed around a 140mm travel 29" fork with 44mm offset.

This bike uses integrated headset cups. The upper up is 41mm and the lower cup is 52mm. The SHIS name is IS 41/28.6 IS 52/40.For Chris King this is a DropSet.3

You should definitely try both, but we typically recommend starting in High. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained.

Yes, this bike is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs for easy chain guide mounting. Most guides/bash guards that follow the ISCG-05 standard should fit.

These bikes are designed specifically to use mixed wheels. Putting a 27.5" front wheel on there will lower the BB height and mess with the handling a lot. Stick with 29" up front.

The chainstay length change occurs in the front triangles - we vary the pivot locations fore and aft to achieve the different lengths while using a single size swingarm. The chainstay lengths are frame size specific and cannot be modified.

The Furtado comes with 44mm offset forks, and this is what we recommend for optimal handling.

An MX bike will handle differently than a full 27.5 bike. The main difference you'll feel is a more stable and confident front end. The turning will be a little bit slower than a 27.5, but the payoff is a more secure feeling in corners and more traction. Due to the taller front axle height and improved roll-over of the large wheel, your chances of stuffing the front wheel or going over the bars is vastly diminished. Use this security to ride challenging terrain with a more aggressive and dynamic body position.

Mixed wheels provide the stability and traction of a 29" front wheel with the agility of a 27.5" rear wheel. The smaller rear wheel and its comparatively lower axle height allows the rider to more easily unweight the front wheel- this makes for confident yet agile handling at speed, while retaining the Furtado's playful feel.

The Furtado will fit most air shocks on the market, with the exceptions being the Fox Float X2 and Cane Creek. Depending on the exact model, the Furtado comes stock with a custom tuned Rockshox Super Deluxe or Fox Float DPS. The Fox Float X will also fit without issue.
