Available Around March 2012
For 2011 the Inspired Fourplay Team has received subtle geometry changes and an improved component spec to ensure that it maintains its position as the 24” bike that is leading the way for street riders around the world. As more and more riders discover the benefits of riding a versatile 24" bike, the Fourplay is allowing them to push the level of riding everytime they get on their bike.
The slightly lower bb and shorter wheelbase mean riders will benefit from more stability when manualling as well as a bike that is generally more manoeuvrable, especially for spins/rotations. To make the most of the improved geometry, front and rear disc brakes are fitted as standard, giving riders more control for manuals and adding to the smooth, flowing riding style the bike encourages.
The front of the frame features an externally butted and tapered headtube, with strength improved further by using external top and downtube gussets. To increase strength, stiffness and tyre clearance the Fourplay uses a one-piece bottom bracket and chainstay yoke. Excess material has been removed from this area to help reduce the weight while maintaining the associated performance benefits.
The rear of the frame features exclusive-design seat and chainstay tubing that improve both crank and heel clearance, while on the left side of the frame a CNC machined disc mount combines with an additional gusset and bracing tube. The compact CNC machined dropouts and neat CNC gear hanger maintain the clean and stylish look of the frame, while improved weld angles and contact area help to maximise strength.
Using components from some of the world’s leading manufacturers results in a bike that is capable of performing at the very highest level of street riding. Steering is handled by custom Inspired alloy rigid forks, Trialtech 3D forged stem, Inspired 7075 riser handlebars and lock-on grips. Drivetrain components are Truvativ Holzfeller trials crankset, Inspired sealed bearing platform pedals, KMC chain and an exclusive Trialtech chain tensioner. Custom Hope Tech-Trial disc brakes front and rear offer excellent braking power in all weather conditions and improved control, helping riders to develop a smoother and more stylish style. The wheels are 100% handbuilt in the UK using Sapim Race double butted spokes, Inspired drilled rims and Hope Pro2 Trials hubs front and rear.
