Which Dropouts are for me? - UpRock V2

Looking for an XC shred machine and a long range bikepacking rig? Let Jimmy, our resident Tech Lead, run you through our most versatile titanium off road machine to date! So whether you want to run standard gearing, single speed, belt drive or Rohloff, the UpRock V2 has you covered.

Optimised around a 120mm suspension fork if you’re looking for the nimble handling you’d expect from an XC hardtail, but also designed to work seamlessly with our Seek 500 Rigid Carbon Fork for intrepid bikepacking missions. The UpRock V2 is as versatile as they come. 

In a move to streamline customisation, we’ve made sliding dropouts and a belt-drive split the standard. This gives the owner total flexibility and control over what type of drivetrain they would like to run from stock. While a stock build comes with SRAM UDH / 160mm post-mount brake & boost spacing inserts, here’s a full run through the options below…

The list gets long quickly, but we have inserts designed for Boost and Non-Boost thru-axle hubs, as well as for QR hubs. We have drive side inserts for UDH/T-type, or you can go with an integrated hanger or hangerless for clean singlespeed and belt drive setups.
The non-drive side inserts are available in Post Mount and Flat Mount (160m rotor) variants, and we also do a Rohloff-specific insert that pairs up with a standard Rohloff hub (QR) with an OEM2 axleplate.

Dropout Kits can be purchased HERE

We’re confident that with all of these you can build the flat-bar titanium machine of your dreams, to get started or if you have any questions, email sales@curvecycling.com and we can get your UpRock ready for the trails!
