Soma Smoothie Hp Frame

The Smoothie HP is the “high protein” version of our Smoothie road frame that was part of our line for almost 20 years. Extra large diameter, thin-wall Tange Prestige chromoly coupled with modern touches like thru-axles and compact geometry give this frame increased power transfer and road feel while still delivering a composed and plush ride at all speeds. The re-designed geometry combines a comfortable higher stack with a shorter wheelbase that rewards skillful riders. Tange Prestige heat-treated double butted CrMo steel Extra-oversized down tube and chainstays for greater pedaling stiffness Ovalized top tube for increased lateral stiffness and vertical compliance Size specific tubing, larger downtubes on larger sized frames Comfortable high stack matched with a tighter wheelbase than the typical big brand endurance road frame Replaceable modular dropouts (12 x 142mm bolt-on thru-axle, fits flat mount disc brake) BSA Threaded bottom bracket shell Rear rack/fender mounts Max tire size: 700x32c with fenders Two water bottle boss sets SPECIFICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FRAME Seatpost: 27.2mm, Seat collar: 29.8 or 30.0mm Front derailleur: 28.6mm, bottom pull Rear hub thru-axle: 142mm x 12mm Headset SHIS: ZS44/28.6 | EC44/40) Max.Tire Fit: 700c x 35mm (certain front derailleurs may reduce tire clearance) Min.
