Product Description
In its debut Tour de France, AG2R's Rinaldo Nocentini rode the BH G5 into the yellow jersey on that Tour's longest stage and highest finish, at Andorra Arcalis. He held the jersey through the next two Pyrenean stages, over the massive Col de Tourmalet, and through a handful of nervous transitional stages across the heart of France. The significance of this is that his ride to the top of the classification exemplifies the qualities of the G5 - long distance comfort, light weight, and sharp handling.BH built the G5 upon the foundation set by the G4, a bike legendary among climbing specialists. What was already a groundbreaking frame design, with its extended seat mast, the G4 was improved upon by careful examination of the carbon lay-up. Chris Cocalis, the man who brought you Titus and, more recently, Pivot Cycles, is the driving force behind BH USA. He is known for his nearly fanatical obsession with testing, and his engineering team strived to tune the ride and to optimize the lay-up of the existing bike. The result is the G5, a frameset that delivers twice the stiffness in the bottom bracket area and a 170% improvement in stiffness in the head tube. Amazingly, these improvements came without any increase in weight.The G5 frame and fork are constructed as monocoques. That is to say that they're each built as one structural unit, with the composite material laid into a mold and formed in one piece. This process ensures uniformity in the lay-up, but it also allows their designers the freedom to create complex tube shapes, such as the down tube on the G5. It's one of the most striking details of the bike. What you'll notice is a channel on the underside. Aesthetically it serves to hide the cables from view, and for this clean look you won't suffer the added few grams regularly associated with internal routing.
