Zoceli Vysoko Steel High-Pivot Enduro Bike
Czech steel framebuilder Zoceli's new Vysoko high-pivot 'hard enduro' bike features a unique design.
We're used to seeing longer travel enduro, freeride, and DH bikes with high-pivot designs and idler pulleys mounted high on their seatstays.
However, this bike is missing a chainring, or even a visible chain connecting the cranks to that upper pulley.
- Instead, it's hiding its primary drive inside the steel frame.
- The primary drive connects the cranks to what looks like an idler pulley.
- The conventional chain of the external secondary drive is mounted on the seatstay and puts power down to the rear wheel.
The idea was to get all the plush travel of a high-pivot design, without the downsides.
