Frame Sizing
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
The Furtado is available in sizes extra small - medium (XS-M) in a mixed-wheel configuration.
Personal Preference
A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.
Body Dimension
Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.
FAQ's
Why MX (Mixed Wheels)?
Mixed wheels provide the stability and traction of a 29" front wheel with the agility of a 27.5" rear wheel. The smaller rear wheel and its comparatively lower axle height allows the rider to more easily unweight the front wheel- this makes for confident yet agile handling at speed, while retaining the Furtado's playful feel.
Do all sizes use MX wheels?
All new Furtado frame sizes are MX, in sizes XS-M. If you are looking for size L, check out the 5010.
I'm coming from a 27.5 bike- what will feel different with MX? Any setup tips?
An MX bike will handle differently than a full 27.5 bike. The main difference you'll feel is a more stable and confident front end. The turning will be a little bit slower than a 27.5, but the payoff is a more secure feeling in corners and more traction. Due to the taller front axle height and improved roll-over of the large wheel, your chances of stuffing the front wheel or going over the bars is vastly diminished. Use this security to ride challenging terrain with a more aggressive and dynamic body position.
What fork offset is the recommended?
The Furtado comes with 42-44mm offset forks (Depending on manufacturer and model), and this is what we recommend for optimal handling.
I see there are different chainstay lengths for each size bike. Can I buy a different swingarm to customize the length on my bike?
The chainstay length change occurs in the front triangles - we vary the pivot locations fore and aft to achieve the different lengths while using a single size swingarm. The chainstay lengths are frame size specific and cannot be modified.
Can I put a 27.5 front wheel on the Furtado?
These bikes are designed specifically to use mixed wheels. Putting a front wheel on there will lower the BB height and mess with the handling a lot. Stick with 29" up front.
Is there chainguide compatibility?
Yes, this bike is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs for easy chain guide mounting. Most guides/bash guards that follow the ISCG-05 standard should fit.
Should I ride in the High or Low shock flip-chip setting?
You should definitely try both, but we typically recommend starting in High. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained.
What kind of headset does this bike use?
This bike uses integrated headset cups. The upper up is 41mm and the lower cup is 52mm. The SHIS name is IS 41/28.6 IS 52/40.For Chris King this is a DropSet.3
Does the Furtado MX use the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)?
The frame is UDH-compatible, but comes with our own machined aluminum hanger. You can replace it with another Santa Cruz hanger or a SRAM UDH.
What can I store in the glovebox?
The Furtado MX comes with two bags - a tube purse and a tool wallet. You should be able to fit a superlight tube, a small pump, tire lever, and misc odds and ends in these two bags.
What is the difference between the C and CC Carbon?
CC frames use the very best carbon materials available. C Carbon frames have all the same features but the trade off for a little less $ is a little more weight. Both versions are made in our own factory, are just as strong and stiff as one another. And both feature our lifetime warranty.
