Conquer Any Terrain: The Open Cycles WI.DE. Frameset
Unleash your inner explorer with the Open Cycles WI.DE. (Winding Detours) Frameset, the ultimate carbon platform designed to conquer the most extreme gravel, singletrack, and even road conditions. This frameset redefines versatility, allowing for massive tyre clearance without compromising the nimble speed and efficient ride Open Cycles is renowned for.
The WI.DE. is engineered to disappear beneath you, making rutted singletrack, slippery roots, and rocks vanish with its impressive tyre capacity. Whether you're building a monster gravel rig or the most comfortable road bike imaginable, the WI.DE. provides the perfect foundation.
Available in a range of sizes (XS / S / M / L / XL) and with RTP (Ready-to-paint) options for customisation, the Open Cycles WI.DE. Frameset is your canvas for building the ultimate all-road, gravel, or adventure machine.
Monster Tyre Clearance: The WI.DE. is purpose-built for big rubber. It comfortably accepts up to 2.4" (61mm) tyres on 650b (27.5") wheels, transforming it into a true off-road machine. For faster gravel roads, it handles 700c gravel tyres up to 46mm, or for an incredibly comfortable road experience, it's optimised for 35-40mm 700c road tyres.
Double-Dropped Chainstays: An Open Innovation, the WI.DE. Features a unique double-dropped chainstay design. This creates an incredibly efficient box shape behind the bottom bracket, significantly increasing stiffness, reducing weight, and enabling huge tyre clearance without compromising a narrow Q-factor for pedalling efficiency.
Optimised Carbon Layup (TRCinTRS™): The frameset employs a strategic blend of ultra-high modulus carbon, where stiffness is paramount, and tougher grades, where durability is critical. This TRCinTRS™ Technology ensures a frame that is both exceptionally light (approximately 1,040 g for the frame, 390g for the fork) and incredibly robust.
Nimble & Efficient Handling: Despite its monster tyre capabilities, the WI.DE. Maintains a deceptively fast and nimble ride quality. Its performance geometry ensures an efficient rider position, making it surprisingly quick on road sections and incredibly agile off-road.
U-Turn Fork with Smart Mount 160: The included lightweight U-Turn fork offers abundant tyre clearance and features Smart Mount 160 technology. This innovative design allows the brake calliper to attach directly to the fork for 160mm rotors without the need for adapters, resulting in a lighter, stiffer, and safer setup with a cleaner aesthetic. The rear brake also utilises Smart Mount 160.
"Stuff Carrying Capability": Ready for every "Winding Detour," the WI.DE. is designed for adventure. It features extra bottle mounts under the downtube, off-centre toolbox mounts under the BB for chainring clearance. It is compatible with strapless top tube, saddle, handlebar, and frame bags for extensive bikepacking adventures.
Refined Details: Enjoy a host of premium features:
Flat-Out Downtube: Strategically placed ultra-high modulus carbon for superior stiffness.
Zero-Setback Seattube: Optimised angle for efficient use of lighter, zero-offset seatposts.
Internal Routing: Clean and protected internal cable and hose routing through the frame.
Thruthread Dropouts: Simple, light, and strong Syntace X-12 thru-axles.
1x or Classified 2x Drivetrain: Dedicated 1x design, also compatible with Classified hubs for a 2x setup.
Included Accessories: Each frameset comes with headset, seat tube top clamp, rail clamp, thru-axles, two rear derailleur hangers, two MultiStops (for 1x, Di2, eTap), a cable exit stop, noise-reduction foam sleeves, bottle cage bolts, and a manual.
