New dropout on the bikes of MTB-Cycletech/in /by

MTB-Cycletech founder Butch Gaudy made a name for himself as a mountain bike guru in Switzerland 30 years ago. The Bernese was the first to import the bicycle-friendly bikes from the USA to Switzerland.

Meanwhile, MTB-Cycletech has become a specialist for touring speed and with the Papalagi has an excellent two-wheeler with a long history. The design and technical features have been further developed for years and have been influenced by countless touring bike riders.

Radiate Engineering has developed a new dropout for MTB-Cycletech, which is now ready and is used in the Papalagi, RAW and Amar series.
