The new HUP evo2 is a game-changing UCI approved frameset, certified for worldwide competition in Cyclocross, Road or Gravel events. Lightweight, low-standover and low stack, this unique frame allows riders of all ages to shoulder a 700c bike easily with it's curved, flat bottom top-tube. HUP evo2 sizes start at 37cm for riders approx 125cm+ up to 58cm for riders approx 188cm.
This clever frame design can deal with serious mud, thanks to it's huge clearances, which also allows the fitting of 50mm/700c gravel tyres when using the dedicated Gravel fork. Flat Mount disc brakes produce all-weather braking reliability. UDH mech hanger for maximum compatibility. Stiff, lightweight thru-axles (just 80g per pair) and a long trail layout increase high-speed stability. A superlight monocoque carbon fork creates a very light front end, improving manoeuvrability.
With a triple-butted 7005 frame and full carbon fork, the #HUPevo2 is the lightest Aluminium frameset available, rivalling all but the most expensive T-1000 carbon frames. Often coming up lighter than most of the carbon competition (especially when built using our wheels) we regulary surprise seasoned racers with our low build weights. Light enough to win, yet still affordable.
Using the latest internal cable technology with easy fitting (no special tools required) for novice mechanics thanks to a downtube 'letterbox'. Running full-length outer cables ensures race reliability and reduces Winter maintenance to a minimum, especially important in the typically harsh cyclocross conditions.
The all-new HUP evo2 is a true all-rounder. Gravel in Summer, CX in Winter (with just a change of tyres) is now a reality using the Gravel fork with luggage bosses. To help build your bike for relaxed Gravel focused adventures, is our range of handbuilt gravel wheels (Aluminium & carbon) with internal widths from 21mm to 29mm, gravel bars, high rise headset caps and a big choice of crankset/gearing for both gravel race and gravel adventure. With re-designed chainstays increasing the maximum chainring size to 50T on a single chaining or a 50/34 on a double chainset.
Just like the original, smaller HUP evo2 framesets (37cm - 44cm) have been specifically developed for children's physiology with class-leading short top-tubes (just 48cm for the 37cm) and when built with HUP components, achieve unrivalled fit. It's the frame kids want to ride, at the price parents want to pay.
The HUP evo2 frameset includes: frame, fork, headset, UDH mech hanger, thru-axles, BB cable guide & 1x single chainring cable fittings. HUP framesets are handmade/painted in Taiwan.
