Our
Expert XL frame is a great transitional frame designed to fit
riders 5’1” to 5’5” (ages 11 to 13).
This is the smallest frame we make that comes with an
1-1/8” head tube as riders getting to this size and weight are
usually ready for a stronger fork and stem.
The Expert XL also features an 8” seat tube with a
66-degree angle to keep the seat low and behind the rider and out
of the way when pedaling. This
frame is designed to be used with 1-3/8” wheels so the head tube
is still relaxed for stability.
For
those in this transitional stage and moving up from a Junior or
Expert frame, you can still transfer all of your parts to this new
frame including your 1" fork and stem. Crupi offers a
Chameleon Headset that fits the 1-1/8" head tube but accepts
the 1" fork and stem. When the time comes to move up to
the 1-1/8" fork and stem, you can just swap out 2 pieces of
this Chameleon headset to make it a 1-1/8" headset! See
our headset page for more details.
Like
our other frames, the Expert XL features a real short back-end that makes
the bike react quicker out of the gate and the turns.
Shorter back ends also tend to manual jumps better.
Crupi frames come standard with custom cable hangars and
machined head tubes, which are faced for you so your headset will
press in smoothly and evenly.
Yes, there was a lot of thought that went into our frames. |
