The newest version of the race-proven and rider-approved Lee Cougan hardtail stands on the shoulders of a longstanding tradition of front suspension cross-country solutions. Making a fast frame faster in the case of the Rampage, universally lauded by nearly all those with experience riding or racing atop it, made for a difficult task indeed.
While the Rampage is visibly different from its previous versions, the elements not visible by the naked eye represent perhaps some of the most significant advancements.
While new shapes give a visual impact it is the absence of visible cables that makes this newest model somewhat disruptive. An oversized steer tube in addition to a specifically studied stem allows for the Rampage to route cables not only internally with regards to the frame but to hide them from sight by passing through the stem.
Rampage model takes advantage of Lee Cougan’s Air Technology, a carbon molding technique that uses extremely high pressure in the molding phase to eliminate imperfections caused by trapped air in addition to blending the 1k, 3k, and unidirectional carbon fiber in a manner that makes for a more compact overall structure.
The result: stronger, more reliable carbon frames that weigh less than comparable frames that use more traditional construction methods.
