The suggested fork model is the Invert CS 40mm travel option with lockout. We can also build the Cenote with the Fox Tapercast or Rockshox Rudy forks.

The Cenote steel comes our race performance tubeset: Velospec Heat Treated (USA made) Tubeset. For lighter frame weight and increased performance characteristics. The tubing is air hardened at weld zones, which increases its fatigue strength and resistance to external forces. While heat treatment adds strength, these tubes offer increased elongation % for a compliant ride. The stuff of magic? We think so.

Finish:

The standard included finish is a powdercoated finish with decal graphics. Custom fork cerakote (C series) is usually $250. We can also cerakote the frame starting around $750. Custom finishes are planned after a frameset is on deposit.

Many gravel events are combining gravel, road, jeep road chonk and singletrack. The need for a fast and capable gravel bike that both inspires confidence and is a blast to race/ride was the inspiration for adding the Cenote to our lineup.

The geometry blends concepts from our Terlingua, SL, and Yaupon models. The Cenote is built around a longer front center with a longer TT, slacker HTº and a touch steeper STº  than our Terlingua Gravel Bike. The Cenote is best paired to shorter stems 50-80mm, wider bars and tires 42-50mm. The result is the ultimate underbike!

Future Proofing: 

  • A quick change of the sliding dropout insert and you can run UDH, T-Type, singlespeed, or traditional mount derailleurs.

  • The frameset will clear a 700x50mm tire

  • Big chainring clearance 44T on normal chainlines

  • Fits common axle to crowns of all the big hitter suspension fork companies, Cane Creek, Fox, Rockshox
