The Stay Strong For Life V5.1 is a colour refresh of the V5 platform — same proven Race DVSN 5-point dropout geometry, same class-leading torsional stiffness, same winning track record. What's new is the colourway and an expanded size run that covers Mini through Cruiser Expert XL.
The Race DVSN 5-point dropout is the feature that separates this frame from everything else at the price. Five attachment points for the wheel insert and disc hanger vs the standard two means dramatically less rear-end flex under disc braking load and sprint forces. BB86 press-fit on Pro sizes for the widest crank interface; Expert series uses Euro BB with a 22.2mm seat post to keep mass down while a reinforced downtube maintains stiffness. Pro sizes step up to a tapered 1-1/8" to 1.5" head tube for compatibility with tapered carbon forks.
