Brand new from the MOREWOOD stable, the Morewood Shova ST Frame is ideal for day-long epics. Perhaps it is best described by Patrick Morewood himself as "The most fun bike I have ever built." Featuring SPI (Stable Pivot Interface), single pivot design, hand made 6082 construction, Manitou Swinger 3-way air, trail-lite tubeset, weld bead manipulationin high stress areas, and a curved top tube for lower stand over height. 135mm rear spacing and replaceable 7075 aluminum derailleur hanger.
Stable Pivot Interface (SPI)
Stable Pivot Interface is what Morewood calls the little contraption that hold the full suspension frames together. It is what make the difference between a floppy rear end, and the super stiff one you can come to know if you are lucky enough to be riding a Morewood suspension frame. The SPI system working on the same principle as our frames do: simple and strong, and while possibly requiring a degree in engineering to design, it certainly does not require one to use.
The heart of the SPI design is the pivot axle that unlike a lot of the competition is not welded into the frame. Instead the treaded pivot axle slides into a larger (read stiffer) hollow pivot that is welded into the frame ñ this removes the risk of a stripped pivot resulting in a scrapped frame. Sandwiching this treaded pivot axle and the swingarm (with the pressed in bearing already in place) are the pivot caps. These pivot caps run through the swingarm and the bearings, and a small amount into the frame providing for an ultra stiff combination. |
