Description:The Saturn TCC is a full suspension frame for cross country and marathon racing, normally the range of uses for hardtail frames. The difference here is the Saturn’s 83 mm of rear travel that enhances comfort and safety and allows you to ride for longer as well as faster on the downhills. Through the use of light weight Eston Ultralight tubing, VCS light stays, and hollow-weld CNC’d parts, the Saturn carries only a tiny weight penalty of 500 g when compared to a hardtail.
