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

- 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
