According to statistics, in 60% of cases, the frame breaks around the head tube. This spot is a real stress concentration.
In addition to external gussets on both tubes, we also use branded integrated gussets. This means that tube walls are 66% thicker where the main load is, and thinner where there is no load.
The second weak point in most cases is the spot where the seat stays are welded to the seat tube. It accounts for about 30% of all broken frames.
We made an additional gusset between the seat stays on all our frames, which increases the strength of this spot almost twice. As a result, we have never seen any The Crew Frames break in this spot over the past 5 years
The chain stays break less often, but instead of a standard bridge, we also made our own Wolfbone gusset.
The Crew 2021 has one of the shortest stays in the world at 12.44 “. This makes the frame very easy to spin and balance on the rear wheel. With this spec, the whole bike becomes more controllable, but less stable.
We have developed a hollow forged yoke to make the shortest possible chain stay while still being compatible with wide tires and 28 chainrings. Due to the fact that the horseshoe hollow frame retained its real weight of 2300g. The Crew 2021 is arguably one of the lightest frames with yoke and lifetime warranty in the world.
We heat-treated the down tube to prevent dents from unsuccessful grinds.
We made the walls of both tubes of the frame thicker where necessary, and thinner where possible. The walls of the tubes change their thickness up to 3 times - this is called triple butting.

With 12,44″ chainstay and lower BB The Crew is definitely one the snappiest frames in world.
We are fans of the low bottom brackets. In our opinion, this is the most underestimated frame feature. By lowering the BB, you bring your center of gravity closer to the bike’s center of gravity, and your bike becomes more intuitive. Plus, the load on the lower back is significantly reduced, which is also important.
