Comfort that makes you faster

Vertical Comfort. Lateral Stiffness. VCLS. Four simple letters have defined our approach to high performance with exceptional ride quality for over a decade. Comfort where you want it. Stiffness where you need it.

The result: bikes that any rider, at any level, can ride stronger, for longer.

Designed with intent

Race-winning frames that deliver direct power transfer. Seatposts engineered to absorb shocks before they reach you. Ergonomic cockpits sculpted to eliminate pressure points.   

Our proprietary VCLS component technologies are key to us developing bikes you can ride further, faster.

Iconic flex: VCLS 2.0

Simple. Elegant. Effective. The patented leaf spring configuration on our VCLS 2.0 seatposts delivers up to 20 mm vertical flex to take the sting out of bumps and vibrations, on-and off-road. 

World first: VCLS Aero

Both the form and carbon layup on our SP0093 VCLS Aero post are optimised to deliver 25% extra compliance. A smoother ride with no compromises in aero performance.

Comfort and control: Bar ergonomics

Your hands should feel right at home, which is why we go the extra mile to produce ergonomic carbon and aluminium bar shapes that minimise pressure points across multiple hand positions.

VCLS 2.0

All flex. No tilt.

The floating saddle clamp ensures saddle tilt remains consistent when our VCLS 2.0 posts absorb shocks, so you’re always sitting comfortably.

VCLS Aero 

Consistent comfort

Whether your fit requires maximum or minimum seatpost exposure, our VCLS Aero seatpost is designed to deflect the same amount, meaning consistent comfort for all riders.

Road

VCLS components on road bikes offset high frequency vibrations and road buzz, as well as compensating for higher tyre pressures run with road tyres.

Gravel

Stay seated where others stand, VCLS technology increases traction and control so you maintain momentum through technical sections you encounter on all-terrain rides.

XC MTB

Even on trail with wide mountain bike tyres, VCLS components tansform hardtails like the Exceed by removing the harshness from square edges and steps frequently found on trail.
