Forme Bikes (UK) – "Gone are days of stereotypes and genres, mountain bikers or road riders. We are all just cyclists, people who love to ride bikes regardless of their tyre size or handlebar type", stated Form Bikes.

"The Monsal is the perfect bike to appeal to any cyclist. It’s the bike that makes you realize what you love about cycling and why you started riding a bike in the first place. That feeling of freedom and adventure is what encourages us to ride and explore the places bikes can take us. With the Monsal, there are no limits to your adventure. Why be restricted to the tarmac when there is another world of cycle routes and natural terrain waiting to be explored", added the company.

Clearance:
Although equipped with 700x35c tyres Forme Bike's frame and fork can accommodate tyres as wide as 700x45C or 650Bx2.1”.

Bottle Cage Bosses:
Extra bottle cage bosses, drilled on the underside of the frame provide a 3rd bottle cage option enabling the rider to carry more fluid for improved hydration during endurance adventures.

Removable Seat Stay Bridge:
Removable to offer improved mud clearance when riding off road or to accommodate a full length mudguard when applied.

Dropped Chainstay:
A shortened and dropped drive side chain stay provides a nimble and responsive ride whilst also maximizing clearance and accommodating a larger chainring of up to 42T.

Flat Mount Discs & Thru Axles:
Flat Mount Disc brake options support a clean and compact braking system. Seamless thru axle design offers optimal power transfer and responsivity by making the frame/fork and wheel connection stiffer, stronger and more secure.
