The lion of the Morewood range and our downhill roots. The Makulu has progressive suspension for the tech sections, precise handling for the corners and a rock solid look on the podium. 3 years of design progression has led to the downhill frame that many consider the industry benchmark.

SPI2 is the recent upgrade of our ever-popular, tried and tested SPI interface. SPI [Stable Pivot Interface] is the single pivot design which we have used for many years throughout our suspension line-up. Building on that system, SPI2 incorporates revisions to the proven SPI: it uses refined pivot caps which eliminate the need for a pivot axle by incorporating them into the cap itself. SPI2 is simpler, stronger and lighter than SPI.

Low-Leverage Advantage is what we call our link actuating system, as seen on the Makulu and the Kalula. Essentially this linkage allows us to tune the suspension kinematics of the frame to perfectly suit both the shock as well as the requirements put on the specific frame by the intended application. This linkage does not in any way alter the wheel path, meaning that the frame, despite having a linkage, is still a single pivot. The link merely serves to manipulate the shock rate.
