2013 Spot Brand Mod Disc SS Frameset

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If the idea of a carbon belt drive single-speed cross bike gets your heart palpitating, then the MOD Disc SS should look freakin' gorgeous. And with a unique geometry designed specifically to balance aggression and comfort, you're going to perform beautifully as well. While we're on the topic of beauty, it's worth pointing out that the first thing people say after they gently run their fingers from seatstay to handlebars is, "Man, this thing is beautiful, how does it ride.” Tell them – beautifully.

Spot has rethought the way a vertical slider-style dropout should come together (literally). Not only does it allow both belt-driven and chain-driven single-speed configurations, it also gives you the option to add a derailleur and "gear up." The unique compact system also gives you the ability to remove and replace the rear wheel without having to adjust belt tension. Add a redesigned super-strong frame connection to the mix and the Spot rear dropout system is the strongest, safest, least fussy and most versatile you'll find anywhere.

Features

Gates CenterTrack:

Next generation Carbon Drive System. Unique, super-strong, carbon-reinforced polyurethane system that requires no lube and provides a nearly silent ride. CenterTrack is stronger, lighter, more compact, and better at shedding debris than the prior Gates systems.

Cyclocross-Specific Geometry:

Aggressive race-proven setup provides a perfect balance of power and handling

True Temper OX Platinum:

OX Platinum is a proprietary superthermophillic (heat-loving) alloy, developed in partnership with the U.S. Steel Alliance. The composition of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium with an unprecedented 217 ksi ultimate tensile strength makes this alloy actually gain strength through a metallurgical transformation in the heat-affected zone as a result of welding or brazing. OX Platinum is highly temper-resistant, resulting in an 11% increase in fatigue life and a 20% increase in impact strength over the competition. The increased mechanical properties of OX Platinum allow for incredibly strong, yet lightweight frame designs with that legendary feel of steel ride quality.

Dropout Compatibility:

Patent-pending Kobe Slider Dropouts allow belt-driven or chain-driven or geared configurations
