BRITANGO 3 FRAME

EU shipping included

The Nordest Britango 3 frame is a “downcountry” model. And what is “downcountry”? Well, it’s something we invented in Nordest and it looks like a cross country bike when you go up a mountain track and an enduro bike when you go down fast on the trails.

NEW GEOMETRY, SAME COLOURS

And how is that possible? Simple: 425mm ultra short chainstays with 29er wheels and 75º saddle tube angle for fast climbing, and extra long top tube, 40mm stem and 65º head tube angle for 140mm fork with 20% SAG to go down like a demon. This explosive cocktail makes the Britango 3 pure madness! Try it first and we’ll talk after!

The frame is manufactured in CRMO 4130 double butted tubing, with an advanced study of geometry designed by Nordest, has been tested by riders with excellent results in all conditions.

Designed for a 140 mm front suspension travel (allows from 120 mm to 140 mm) and compatible with 27.5″+ x 2.8″ or 29″ x 2,6″ wheels, the safety in descents and cornering is simply incredible.

BRITANGO

Also known as the Egyptian vulture, the Britango (Neophron percnopterus), is the smallest of the Iberian vultures. It is a bird of prey with essentially white and black plumage, a yellow face and a long, cuneiform tail.

The Britango is a summer migrator, which can generally be seen in Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands from the end of February, remaining in the nesting zones from March to September. During the autumn it migrates south, spending the winter in sub-Saharan Africa. It prefers rugged areas, usually in river valleys and mountains, nesting in holes and rocky platforms.

In Portugal, the Douro International (Tras-os-Montes) is one of the places where it is easier to observe, but occasionally it appears in other parts of the country. In this region, which includes regions of Portugal and Spain, are one of the most important populations of the Iberian Peninsula.

In the Canary Islands, the Neophron percnopterus receives the common name of “guirre”, being a species totally adapted to the geography of the eastern islands, especially in Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
