Weve followed CDuros European-made carbon high-pivot Shremeeq enduro bike through 3 iterations. First raced on the Enduro World Cup as a prototype by Vojta Blha. Then, refined through post-season testing and teased at Bespoked before it even had an official name. And now ready to order one your own. CDuro Shremeeq custom-made Czech carbon enduro bike(All photos/CDuro)The race-ready CDuro Shremeeq is built from unique Czech-made carbon tubes, wound and joined by robots with 3D-printed alloy suspension elements. The made-to-order mid-high-pivot bike is highly adjustable, letting riders adapt the amount of rear travel, head angle, and full 29er or mullet adjustability, plus the choice of multiple chainstay lengths to dial in the perfect ride, whether youll be racing enduro, DH, or turning laps in your local bikepark.Whats new?Since we last checked it with it, the carbon C/Duro enduro bike now has an official name: Shremeeq, which is something of a phonetic spelling of the folklore-inspired name we were teased last October. ShremeeQ emk, built for shredding. The Q on the end being a subtle in-joke for the Czech bike maker, satirizing Czech carmakerkodas habit of ending all of its off-road models with a Q, as well.Beyond the name, the production-ready Shremeeq now features some subtle but key reshaping. The most important is the new 3D-printed alloy bottom bracket junction that extends up to the main pivot and lower shock mount. This update is said to have increased stiffness, simplified construction, and maybe even saved a little weight. With the revised lower BB junction, the bike now moves to a T47 threaded bottom bracket with ISCG tabs, and the downtube gets reshaped for increased stiffness.Curiously, this revised construction is also said to make it easier in the future to develop a separate 3D-printed part to accept a gearbox or a mid-drive e-bike motor.A more subtle change, CDuro refined its proprietary Integrated Loop Tech joints at the headtube, moving from two thin to a single thicker ILT wrap for each of the top & downtubes. This is said to make the connection more robust. But it also allows CDuro to add another hand-laid reinforcement wrap for a sleeker finish to the headtube junction, and a cleaner rear brake routing opening.What we thought at first were now aluminum chainstays, are in fact, still carbon. CDuro just wraps the chainstays in silver to emphasise the straight design line of the lower arms of the rear suspension.Tech detailsBeyond those updates, the bike is mostly the same as the second prototype we detailed last fall.

A made-to-order frameset without shock (but including shock mount hardware, seatpost clamp, rear axle & angle-adjust headset) starts at 5000 in a raw carbon finish. Current lead time is about three months from order to delivery. But CDuro expects to cut that down to just a few weeks later in the year as they ramp up production based on demand.Adding a tinted carbon paint job (like on this purple prototype) adds 1250 and about 150g, while still showing off CDuros unique filament-wound carbon patterning. More custom paint jobs are also available for the discerning bike paint nerds out there.Following up Vojta Blahas previous Pro Bike Check from last year in Bielsko-Biaa, it looks like this season he might be swapping to Fox Factory suspension, while keeping the Intend brakes, the Czech-made Posedla custom 3D-printed saddle, and longtime sponsors KMC chain and WTB wheels & tires.CDuroBikes.comThe post Unique Czech Carbon High-Pivot CDuro Shremeeq Enduro Bike is Ready For You appeared first on Bikerumor.
