Mountain Bike Action - Is The Epiphany The Epitome?
The Ellsworth Epiphany draws a lot of design cues from its big brother, the Ellsworth Moment, but uses a different (lighter) frame tube spec. Ellsworth’s trademark walking-beam links are made from magnesium (instead of the aluminum versions found on the Moment) to shave weight and still provide lateral stiffness. These links get more muscle with the addition of a bonded carbon-fiber bridge. They move on the 12-millimeter pivot axles and oversized bearings and, along with the swingarm, are designed to allow massive tire clearance. Cables and hoses are intelligently routed under the top tube to keep them out of harm’s way and to give the bike a clean appearance.
