Rampage Innova

XC & Marathon MTB

Pioneering Evolution

A race in which the winner is whoever arrives in thirty-eighth place, riding bicycles with strange elliptical wheels by regulation, on the paths of a planet of molten metal. There are things that don’t exist until you have the courage to imagine them.

Rampage Innova goes beyond logic: it challenges the imagination to question the paradigm, to take the next evolutionary step. Impossible to understand using current criterions. It is simply something different, never seen before, the progenitor of a new species. It will not be enough to press your elbow against the seat to test the cushioning. You need the weight of a body and speed. The best way is to experience it in its natural habitat.

Two souls

Marathon racer

Precision, pedal efficiency, lightness. For the most demanding trails and the toughest races, a concentration of pure innovation at the service of the most extreme performances. Rampage Innova was developed and tested with Team Soudal Lee Cougan athletes, immediately revealing his highly competitive spirit.

Adventure rider

Reliability, responsiveness, comfort. The vocation to immerse yourself in nature to challenge your limits, to explore the most remote places on the planet and compete on legendary routes. Innova’s features make it the ideal vehicle to literally go anywhere.

Dawn and future utopias coexist in the same bike.

Pioneering Evolution combines the two souls of Rampage Innova: the pioneering spirit with which Mountain Bike was born and the highly innovative evolutionary tension of Lee Cougan.

Pioneering

A return to the dawn of MTB, when the pioneers of this sport assembled absurd and unpredictable bikes with which they threw themselves along the American dirt slopes. A group of rebels who have been able to imagine and give life to a new way of experiencing nature on a bike. Lee Cougan wanted to relight that ‘fire’ with Rampage Innova, experimenting against common sense and creating a bike to excite and compete by offering very high performance. A tribute to those who had the courage to subvert the rules to trace new paths, to invent alternatives, to allow explorations, to immerse themselves in nature, to compete at the highest levels of adrenaline.

Evolution

Rampage Innova adds a new branch to the evolution of MTB, a new species never seen before. Not a hardtail, not a full but an original solution. The result of a rebellious vision, which stands out in appearance and substance from any MTB ever created, a challenge to the status quo. A vision that has taken shape thanks to Lee Cougan’s most advanced and refined technologies, which are summarized in the most advanced bike created so far, capable of defining a new way of pedaling on a XC/XCM bike. Rampage Innova fully expresses Lee Cougan’s vocation for competitions, with the ambition of becoming a new benchmark in terms of performance. Rampage Innova is a pioneer, designed to further evolve the world of MTB.

But, Above all, Why choose?

Lightness or maneuverability?
Stiffness or comfort? Full or front?

Years of development in cooperation with the Soudal Lee Cougan Team, Gallo Moto and Leonardo Paez, the champion on which it was designed. Lee Cougan brought out the best of his repertoire to create Rampage Innova. Years of research, of trial and error, of tests on every terrain to trace their own path, to give life to something new and never seen. The result is a bike that performs in all situations, a concentrate of technology and production know-how enclosed in just over 9 kg – of which just 1300gr of frame.

Weight
Lightness

The lightness of the carbon and the structural suspension solution allowed Lee Cougan to keep the weight of the Innova extremely low.

Frame
Rigidity

The torsional rigidity of the frame allows you to transfer all the pedaling power to the ground, without dispersion for unique and efficient power transfer.

suspension
Comfort and handling

The structural suspension gives comfort and handling, as well as stability and traction on the steepest slopes.

ISS: Innova Structural Suspension

What if instead of adding a shock absorber to the frame, you make the frame itself shock absorbing? The form will no longer be a support for functional elements, but it will also become functional.

Rampage Innova’s frame is designed to take advantage of the flexibility of carbon to act as a shock absorber. It is the chainstays, which have been given a tapered shape, that allow flexion by responding to the stresses of the wheel. The result is a structural suspension with oil pistons for adjustment, with a travel of 30 mm, which gives a unique combination of vertical flection and torsional rigidity. The pistons and the geometry of the frame create a system that discharges energy to the ground, reducing dispersions during the thrust phase. The structural suspension replaces the traditional shock absorber, eliminating its weight.
Patent pending.

An adjustable and customizable suspension system, developed in collaboration with Gallo Moto.

The renowned Roman suspension tuner worked on the development of the hydraulic system. The pistons, which act as an adjustment to the structural suspension system, are sealed exclusively by Gallo Moto, which takes care of the customization.

With Rampage Innova, Lee Cougan official dealers will be able to request Gallo Moto customization for their customers. Once the pistons have been removed, they will be sent to the technician who will contact the customer to create the tailor-made setup, offering a professional service of the highest level.


Widespread innovation, technological ecosystem

Rampage Innova uses the latest technologies developed by Lee Cougan. As in an ecosystem, every single component contributes to a complex system. It is not just the new Innova Structural Suspension system, Rampage Innova is a concentrate of technology devoted to performance and riding pleasure

LC Air Technology

Rampage Innova uses Lee Cougan Air technology, a carbon shaping technique that allows for a construction optimized for size and weight. The rear triangle is thinned in the ‘chain stay’ area to allow the carbon to flex vertically giving 30 mm of travel to the wheel.

Air Technology uses an extremely high pressure in the forming phase, in order to eliminate the imperfections produced by the formation of air bubbles, and the use of 1k, 3k fibers and unidirectional fibers in order to make the structure more compact. The result: stronger frames, more reliable and resistant carbon fibers, but, at the same time, lighter than frames that use the traditional construction methods.

Elbow design

Lee Cougan engineers have extended the seat stay beyond the rear wheel axle with an elegant "elbow design", placing the wheel inside the rear stay and thus increasing the vertical flexion of the frame.

A more "flat" shape of the seat stay and chain stay has also been added, making the frame race ready and capable of expressing its best on particularly bumpy tracks. The short rear triangle is combined with a particularly inclined head tube, to create a racing, reactive and fast frame.

3 Bolt System Clamp

The geometry of the frame meets a more inclined top tube design to allow even the largest sizes to benefit from the stiffer and compact front triangle of the Rampage Innova.

Even the seatpost clamp derives from the adoption of a new technology: using an increased three-bolt locking system that makes the seatpost and seat tube an almost single body, gives greater rigidity to the seat tube and offers sensations and performance almost identical to those of an integrated seat post system.
