Market: Only a few companies in the bike industry pursue such a consistent model update as Storck Bicycles. The advantage for the buyer is obvious: a mature product that is always state-of-the-art. The manufacturer remains true to its maxim for 2015 as well.
Bandits Nine G1
The story of the Storck Bandit began 16 years ago. At the time, the bike caused a sensation with a highly developed aluminum frame. The Bandit is now made of high-quality CFR and, according to the manufacturer, weighs in at 1200 grams. With a tapered head tube and oversized chainstays, the 29-inch bike is already well prepared for the future. The Bandit Nine G1 is available as a single frame for 1199 euros or as a complete bike with two configurations. The price with XT equipment is 3098 euros, for the XTR equipment an additional 1100 euros must be added.
Zero2Nine G1
The experience in building light aluminum frames is also evident in the Zero2Nine G1. The torsion-resistant frame weighs only 1500 grams. Tapered headtube and press-fit bottom bracket are also standard on this Storck model. The 12 mm thru-axle at the rear provides additional rigidity of the frame. The 29-inch bike is available with Shimano XT equipment for 2598 euros and with XTR equipment for 3698 euros. If you only need the frame, you have to put 699 euros on the counter. For a surcharge of 100 euros, the bike can be ordered with powder coating in the color of your choice. For fans of the modern wheel size of 27.5 inches, Storck has the Zero2Seven in its range.
Rebel Seven G1
The key data of the Rebel Seven G1 frame is really something to be proud of: designed for modern 27.5 inch wheels, front derailleur socket for direct attachment, press-fit bottom bracket, conical head tube and a 12 mm thru-axle at the rear. The 'directional depending stiffness' construction made of UD fabric is also said to give the frame, which weighs only 1100 grams, enormous stiffness. The lightweight frame is available at a price of 1799 euros, as a complete bike the bike costs 3698 euros (Shimano XT equipment) or 4798 euros (Shimano XTR equipment).
