Sculpted Tubesets and 3D Printing

6 Ti features a distinctive silhouette with a custom profiled top tube that tapers elegantly as it approaches the seat tube, then wraps around the seat tube and blends effortlessly into the seat stays. This is achieved through a combination of 3d printing, expert welding, and hand finishing.

Lock Jaw 2 Dropouts

The Flaanimal 5 slider design has served Rodeo Labs well for years, but with the advent of UDH derailleurs, it was time for the brand to create an improved sliding dropout system that solved for new derailleur engineering while shedding mass and complexity. Lock Jaw 2 builds on slider concepts first pioneered in TD4, and refines them for the current drivetrain era.
