GEOMETRY
DOWN TO THE DEGREE
One carbon CP platform. Identical geometry across Paratu and Iuhu. Four rear-travel configurations tune ride character. Geometry stays consistent; the travel option changes how it feels.
Anti-Rise, Tuned for Control
Same balanced character across the CP platform, Paratu CP and Iuhu CP.

The CP Platform
SAME DNA.
DIFFERENT SOUL.
Paratu CP
Carbon CP platform. Maxon BIKEDRIVE AIR S. Enduro geometry built for the rowdiest lines, with a motor that disappears when you don't need it.
Iuhu CP
Same carbon. Same CP kinematics. Same geometry. Zero motor. Pure legs, pure feedback, pure riding. The Iuhu CP is the Paratu's soul without the spark.
Mullet Setup & Flip Chips
MULLET &
FLIP CHIPS.
How mixed wheel sizes and geometry flip chips affect your bike's handling. When to run mullet, when to stay full 29, and what each flip chip position does.
What Is a Mullet Setup?
A mullet configuration runs a 29" wheel in front and a 27.5" wheel in the rear — combining the rollover advantage of a larger front wheel with the agility and lower centre of gravity of a smaller rear wheel.
All CP-platform full-suspension frames accommodate both full 29 and mullet configurations without compromising suspension performance.
Flip Chip Positions
FINE-TUNE WITHOUT CHANGING WHEELS.
LOW Position
Slacker HTA, lower BB, longer wheelbase. The default position for maximum stability at speed.
Best for: Steep terrain, bike parks, aggressive descending
HIGH Position
Steeper HTA, higher BB, shorter wheelbase. More agile handling with quicker turn-in.
Best for: Trail riding, tight switchbacks, flatter terrain
When to Run Mullet vs Full 29
| Scenario | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Steep, loose terrain | Mullet + LOW chip | Maximum stability, lowest COG, playful rear |
| All-mountain / trail | Full 29 + HIGH chip | Best rollover, good climbing, balanced handling |
| Bike park / shuttle | Mullet + LOW chip | Most DH-oriented setup, rear whip capability |
| XC / long climbs | Full 29 + HIGH chip | Steepest STA, most efficient, best rollover |
| Shorter riders (under 170 cm) | Mullet | Lower standover and saddle height without sacrificing front-wheel confidence |
