Asymmetric design dissipates\nload based &nbsp;on magnitude &nbsp;and position, levitating stresses\nwhere &nbsp;it\u2019s most concentrated. Paired with 12-Speed XX1, 110mm &nbsp;Fox 32 and Stan\u2019s Podium wheels, it sets the scene for serious racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oversized\n&nbsp;tapered pivot and Burst Flex suspension with an injection molded carbon\n&nbsp;\ufb01ber linkage makes for an extremely\nlight and agile race bike.Dropper post compatibility for versatility, &nbsp;nothing will be in the way of your success on board a Stratos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon Fiber material and epoxy resin creates a lightweight and very strong frame that can withstand the demands of modern day riding. Single pivot suspension layout with a \ufb02ex seatstay design. Progressive leverage curve for a supported bottomless feel. Less pivots = less maintenance. Position of Power \/ Power Over Pedals. Geometry placing the rider more central on the bike &#8211; better &nbsp;climbing, better &nbsp;descend- ing, more traction. Simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/New-Stratos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/New-Stratos.jpg 748w, https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/New-Stratos-900x682.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/New-Stratos-1200x909.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sparkbikereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/New-Stratos-800x606.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stratos AL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stratos AL is the mountainbike &nbsp;every recrational rider can enjoy. Silverback\u2019s POP geometry makes it a strong climber and a balanced con\ufb01dent descender. The linkage driven asymmetric single pivot suspension is tuned for optimal small bump sensitivity and big hit compliance &nbsp;without power delivery &nbsp;penalties. The suspension curve &nbsp;is designed to o\ufb00er full use of available &nbsp;travel. The Stratos AL is based &nbsp;on the groundbreaking Stratos CF race machine, but adapted to o\ufb00er a more capable bike for the everyday rider. Trails, XC or marathon, the Stratos AL is the right mountain bike for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A process to shape alloy tubes from the inside using pressurised water &nbsp;and\/or &nbsp;oil in negative molds, resulting &nbsp;in stronger tubing.
