WHAT’S NEW IN CRANK FORWARD
The push to create more models of this very solid concept has resulted in four new models for 2007, and some very nice updates to the current models. All but the tandem has switched to 7005 alloy frames, which have reduced all up riding weights.  More color selections for some models, and bikes intended for single track trails, and cycle cross now enter the CF lineup.
FUSION
The Fusion is upgraded to an alloy frame for 2007. Offered in 3 colors, with black graphics, the Fusion retains its fun appearance for ‘07. Back by popular demand it the color yellow, now in an even richer shade, the Aqua green is dazzling, and the Ti-Rose is subtle and rich. More colors, lighter, and a great value, the Fusion will remain a popular fist choice in a performance CF.
•   1.5 pounds lighter at 26 pounds
•   7005 alloy frame and fork
•   Lower geared Truvativ Blaze crank 22/32/44
•   All this for only a $50 price increase!
•   Comes in Metallic Yellow, Aqua, and Ti - Rose
MSRP $950


CRUZ
For '07 the Cruz also goes alloy, a beefy frame of 7005 aluminum drops the all up weight, also available in two colors of metallic green and metallic gold.  Still styling and giving that sweet ride only the Cruz or Fusion geometry can offer.
•   1.5 pounds lighter at 26 pounds
•   7005 alloy frame and fork
•   Lower geared Truvativ Blaze  crank 22/32/44
•   New color and graphics (Sting  Ray Green and Gold)
  MSRP $1100


DYNAMIK
The lineup of Dynamiks has been layered into three bikes. The base bike is now more across from the Fusion in price and mission. The slightly higher cost over the Fusion is reflected in the stronger frame, and threadless fork. The frame is the same 7005 alloy, as the Fusion, and the all up bike weight is only 26 pounds, over the previous 30. The bike will do well with the stock tires for road and some trail riding, however a simple change of tires and the Dynamik becomes a potent single-track machine, or going to a 1” high pressure, it can cruise the payment at impressive speeds.
•   4 lbs. lighter over all for a  26 lbs bike
•   7005 alloy frame
•   Lower geared Truvativ Blaze  crank 22/32/44
•   New color and graphics  (Corvette Blue)
MSRP $995


DYNAMIK TRAIL (new model)
New for '07 is the Dynamik Trail. With its beefy alloy frame, standard shock fork, and medium tread tires, the Trail is ready to attack the single track. The added wheelbase and low center of gravity bring a new dynamic to off road cycling, increasing confidence in corners and steep descents. Like the Dynamik the Trail is also a versatile machine by a mere tire size up or down. Frame and fork clearances allow from 1” to 2.3” tire widths.
•   Shock fork standard
•   7005 alloy frame
•   Lower geared Truvativ Blaze crank 22/32/44
•   New color and graphics (Metallic Silver)
MSRP $1395


DYNAMIK PRO (new model)
The Dynamik Pro addresses the need for a well-equipped mountain bike in CF form.  It is light and agile. The Pro is suited for aggressive single track, however the longer wheelbase presents some challenges for ground clearance at times.  I have been successful riding the Pro everywhere I can ride a regular bike MTB, and as I like to say, I fall in the same places on my regular bike as I do on the Pro. Weighing in at 26 lbs, the Pro is easy in the climb and the longer wheelbase makes high-speed descents fun and stable.  This bike should appeal to those who love trail riding and want the comfort RANS Crank Forwards offers. Comes in Burnt Orange
  MSRP $2750



CITI (new model)
The Citi uses the curved tube styling of the Cruz with the Dynamik frame geometry. The concept of the bike is to provide a simpler bike, only 9 speeds, with fat tires to handle the ill maintained streets, and float over softer surfaces. I use this bike as a chaser after a hard ride. You can push this bike to a fun cruise speed, since it is light and responsive. But you will never feel guilty about taking it easy due the cool styling. The bike is a blast, doing bunny hops, and riding over whatever you dare, seems to be little challenge for the tires or bike. The B-37 bars are called modern day “paper boys” and functions the same, allowing you a more upright position on the longer reach frame geometry. They are wide enough to stand and ride. You gotta love the Big Apples, simple gearing, and looks of this bike and the cool Ti-Rose and Metallic Red colors.
•   9-speed for simple gearing
•   Cruiser styling
•   Fat tires
•   B-37 bars, modern day “paper-boys 
•   Comes in two colors Metallic Red and Ti-rose  
MSRP $1195



700X (new model)
This is an exciting bike, and nicknamed the “urban bomber” for its tough nature, and how fun it is to grid cut in town. The 700X is based on the Dynamik frame, and sports disc brakes and 700 wheels, making it an effective cycle cross CF. A very versatile bike, commuting, touring, and cycle cross are missions well suited for the 700X. A light bike at 26.4 pounds, it will fly up hill, and is easy to hold a decent cruise.
•   Carbon cycle cross fork
•   Velocity 700 wheels
•   Carbon seat
•   Tough 7005 alloy frame
•   Comes in Purple Haze

 MSRP $1895
 
ZENETIK TOUR
The brisk selling Zenetik Tour is back in good form for 2007. This bike has really satisfied those seeking road bike feel and performance in a CF. The attractive price represents at lot of bike value, since it is base on the same frame as the Zenetik Pro. Light and fast, hills are easy to crest, and the longer wheel base over the typical road bike goes a long way towards a smooth ride.  MSRP $1350
 
ZENETIK PRO
The Z-Pro gets a triple crank, the Pulsion from Stronglight, hollow pin chain, and RANS aluminum steer tube carbon fork. The all up weight is still sub 19 lbs. Adding the triple and not paying price in weight enhances the Z-Pro all around. The Zenetik Pro is road bike performance on a comfort bike platform, and the gear to match the mission. MSRP $2695.00
 
DYNAMIK DUO/ DYNAMIK DUO TR
Back for ‘07 and two choices of color, and no- cost bar options will make this program even more fun.

• Two color choices, Rexford Red and Sparkle Blue
• Tweaked head geometry for improved handling
•  Handlebar choices at no extra cost
MSRP $2995
