| Features | High-end 7005 aluminium frame: Its construction and geometry have been directly inspired by the successful Ultimate range. Built with high-end 7005 aluminium, the Zenith frame is manufactured under the tube-to-tube process with three different thickness's (1.6 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.8 mm) to provide greater rigidity to the delicate areas and increased flexibility to other areas. As a result, the Zenith frame weighs only 1,380 grs. in size S. The Zenith frame has been manufactured in 7005 aluminium with hydroforming technology. This has allowed BH to design attractive frames with significant coefficients of resistance and lightness and the highest standards of quality that the brand demands of all its models. The hydroforming technology allows custom tubes to be made and provides more rigidity to critical areas and greater lightness to other areas. Thus the design of the Zenith frames combines extra stiffness in the lower part and a high level of comfort and flexibility in the upper tubes. This provides great capacity for vertical absorption and lends lateral stiffness to the frame. Its two rear dropouts are also made of forged aluminium and it is specifically designed to accommodate the Evo Brake Mount system, as in the Ultimate and Ultimate RC frames. Press Fit 92 bottom bracket: One of the most innovative and notable features that BH has incorporated into the Zenith frame is the new Press Fit 92 bottom bracket, which gives it greater lightness and strength. Its increased width, 92 mm, has allowed the torsional rigidity to be increased and the wall thickness to be reduced by increasing the diagonal tube section. Integrated tapered head tube: The integrated tapered aluminium head tube, a technology typical of BH’s Lynx frames, is another important technological development incorporated into the Zenith frames. This new head tube significantly increases lateral and torsional stiffness. Direct Mount front derailleur anchor: The Direct Mount derailleur offers a high level of quality and reliability in the front derailleur anchor. Its development, fully integrated with the frame, gives greater rigidity and accuracy when shifting gears. The design makes adjustment extremely easy. Geometry: The Zenith frame is inspired by the successful Ultimate range. Both models share the same geometry and the 15 cm-head tube offers a comfortable and relaxed riding position for the rider. The seat stays have been designed and manufactured with a curvature and specific design to absorb vibrations from minor impacts. Therefore, the frame geometry provides a great sense of responsiveness and comfort. EVO brake mount system: The chainstays have been specifically developed to accommodate the EVO Brake Mount system. The system is located on the rear chainstay of the frame and has an optimum tilt angle which reduces braking vibrations on the rear wheel. |
