Production Privée : Shan 5 Sweet LTD Edition Rolling Chassis
*Contact for information on availability and shipping costs
Same DNA, new generation
Our flagship, our great all arounder, fun and simple to ride, the Shan 5 gets a full revamp! Not only it is now manufactured in Andorra in our premises but we pushed the threshold and make it even more performant.
This new Shan 5 is the epitome of a process initiated 3 years ago. A process born together with Forestal and our will to build our production tool.
For this new iteration and to remain loyal to the DNA of the Shan N5 we adopted a multi-material approach.
As usual we make extensive use of steel. Given the particular material properties of our MCS 4130 heat treated steel we can achieve excellent mechanical performances to weight ratio for the front triangle.
However, we looked at how to improve the already excellent dynamics characteristics of the frame and through a detailed analysis from mechanical performance by way of cost to reliability we decided to go for a carbon composite swingarm.
Our engineering knowledge at Forestal Group on carbon composites allowed us to design a swingarm near half of the weight of its predecessor while maintaining and improving the dynamics characteristics of the frame.
The benefits are multiple, less unsprung weight means a more dynamic suspension and our custom lay-up of carbon fiber allowed us to refine the exact stiffness we wanted for the frame.
So not only the bike feels lighter but it’s also more dynamic. This resulted in increasing the range of actuation of the frame, making it even more pedaleable than before while maintaining the downhill performances.
Shan Nº5
29" / Trail & Enduro / Steel X Carbon / Made In Andorra
The Rolling Chassis is a concept making job easier for those looking at a custom build around a SHAN Nº5.
The Rolling Chassis comes with most important and essentials parts of the bicycle. We’ve selected high level performance components, reliable and most important, matching perfectly the SHAN Nº5 riding characteristic. Ours Rolling Chassis comes with frame & rear shock, front fork and headset, wheels and tires, cockpit and seat post. This gives you the opportunity to specs by yourself your favourite drivetrain and brakes and to realise your dream bike! You can even take the components from your old bike, to save up some money in this quest!
THE BRANDS FLAGSHIP
The SHAN Nº5 is your go to bike for as long as you can ride!
Features
THE ALLIANCE OF STEEL AND CARBON
A fine combination of high strength steel and Carbon composites allowed us to optimise the dynamics characteristics of the chassis.
The front triangle is made of our 4130 CrMo MCS steel with impeccable strength, high levels of elasticity and fatigue resistance meanwhile we engineered a carbon swingarm which reduce by half the weight of the previous generation. Tailor made lamination of T700 and T800 allowed us to reach the right amount of flex. Less unsprung weight means a more dynamic ride.
R.KTP SUSPENSION OPTIMISATION
The 140mm of R.KTP suspension has been developed across 2 areas: A single-pivot suspension system reduces maintenance to a bare minimum. Suspension can therefore be adjusted for sensitivity from the start and ensuring that 100% of the available travel is used without bottoming out. Lateral constraints are isolated from the shock, ensuring optimal cornering sensitivity and function.
MADE iN ANDORRA
The new Shan 5 is the first stepping stone on our mission to produce the finest bikes here in Andorra via a subtle balance of agility, craftsmanship and technologically advanced processes.
ICONIC INSPIRATION
We have a great admiration for the motor racing world from the 60's and 70's, the golden era of the space race, as well as every type of quest for a speed record around. Our bikes represent that admiration.
All of our frames are painted in our facility in Andorra with solvent free paint systems.
COMPONENTS
OHLINS RXF36 M.2 AIR
With increased damping pressure bandwidth, the damping valve response and sensitivity greatly exceeds our original RXF36 fork to give unrivalled traction control and ultra-consistent performance – no matter how tough the trail gets.
OHLINS TTX2 AIR
The TTX2Air delivers the unrivalled sensitivity, control and flawless all-conditions damping that TTX products have built their reputation on.
CRANKBROTHERS SYNTHESIS CARBON
Brings control & stability for Enduro riding with stiff rear and compliant front wheels.
CRANKBROTHERS HIGHLINE 7
The all-new Highline delivers infinite adjustment and smooth feel.
SIZING
