Never heard of the Megamo Track? Time to change that, because the Spaniards are giving their race fully a modern makeover for the new model year and are confidently heading for the German market. The southern European whirlwind is supposed to be fast, powerful, reactive and exciting. If that doesn't sound exciting! Megamo describes the new Track as the pinnacle of integration and innovation. With increased suspension reserves and revised geometry, behind the model name Track is a carbon full-suspension bike with 120 millimetres of travel at the front and rear. In the development work, Megamo was able to rely on the professional input of its own XC World Cup team and aims to have created a cross-country bike that puts all other racing bikes in the shade, both uphill and downhill.
More beautiful, stiffer, faster: the new Megamo Track
Bike manufacturers have been working intensively on the integration of cables and lines for many years. Megamo routes all cables on the new Track through the headset into the frame. Of course, the chassis is also prepared for internal cable routing at the dropper post. Not only does this create a clean look, but by dispensing with holes in the head tube area, it has also been possible to increase its stiffness compared to its predecessor. According to Rosa van Doorn, the European marathon champion, she even likes to ride the Megamo Track on tarmac due to its high stiffness.
In terms of geometry, the Megamo Track has a 65.5 degree head angle and a 76.5 degree seat angle. With reach values of between 410 and 485 millimetres, the Spaniards want to pick up racers of all sizes, but do without size-dependent chainstay lengths. These measure a compact 431 millimetres in all four available frame sizes. However, the carbon layup is individual for each size. This means that riders between 160 and 200 centimetres tall and with different body weights should benefit from the optimum ratio of stiffness and weight. As befits a modern race bike, the Megamo Track rolls on large 29-inch wheels.
120 millimetres of suspension travel with efficient kinematics
Numerous race fullys now rely on a flex pivot in the rear triangle. Instead of an additional joint, the carbon material flexes itself and ensures a low-maintenance, stiff and lightweight chassis. Megamo has also given the new Track a Flex-Pivot rear triangle and calls the system "the best solution for lightweight mountain bikes". However, the Spaniards remain silent about the frame and complete bike weight. In contrast to the previous Track model, the shock is now located directly under the top tube. Refreshed kinematics are intended to offer racers a combination of reserves and efficiency on the course. Megamo has chosen a progression of 14 per cent for the XC-Fully. The anti-squat value has been set at 105 per cent to minimise power loss when pedalling.
In order to provide the best XC suspension in all riding situations, the Megamo Track relies on a three-stage handlebar remote. The suspension can be completely locked for full power transmission. In technical sections, the centre position promises a high level of traction. In the open position, the suspension of the new Megamo Track should be able to take on all the challenges of modern cross-country descents. With 120 millimetres of suspension travel, the bike fits seamlessly into the current range of XC fullys. However, the most affordable model of the Megamo Track continues to rely on 100 millimetres of travel at the front and rear.
