Overview
The PNW Loam Carbon is engineered around a single obsession: eliminating hand and wrist fatigue on long, rough rides. The patent-pending CBD (Chatter-Busting Damping) layup delivers an ideal balance of vertical compliance to absorb trail chatter against horizontal stiffness for precise, predictable cornering. Top-shelf pre-preg UD carbon keeps weight low while the 10° backsweep and 5° upsweep geometry reduce strain on wrists over time. Rated for e-bikes and DH riding with an 800mm width trimable to 740mm minimum.
