The Best Bike in Africa will be held at the 2015 Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair on 23 – 25 October at St Stithians College, Johannesburg. The competition invites fair visitors to vote for their favourite bike at the Best Bike in Africa stand. All the entrants that vote for the bike that wins the Best Bike in Africa will go into a draw to win the bike. Leading up to the fair, we’ll be be revealing the bikes entered in the Best Bike in Africa. This morning we reveal the Pyga Stage as the next Best Bike in Africa hopeful.
The Pyga Stage depicted does not reflect the specification of the Best Bike in Africa build. See the specifications below.
The Stage is Pyga’s take on the XC / marathon bike, designed to be more comfortable and less skittish than other bikes in the category. The Stage achieves this with a longer and slacker geometry than most endurance race bikes, allowing for a shorter stem and wider handelbars, all working to aid stability and technical handling.
Pyga designed the Stage around the +FIVE chain line which shifts the rear end of the bike 5 mm towards the drive side. This centres the chainline improving shifting and reducing chain wear as well as evening the dish of the rear wheel making it stronger and stiffer.
The Pyga Stage entered into the Best Bike in Africa features a RockShox SID fork and Monarch XX shock, a Pyga carbon wheelset, SRAM X1 drivetrain, and a Kore cockpit.
