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
