CINTO

All Mountain
Excellence

The new CINTO is faster, more versatile and lighter. With the Featherweight Layup we can save another 300 g without compromising on suspension, stiffness and strength. In the all-mountain range, excellent complete bike weights from 11 kg are possible.

The new CINTO - more than lightweight

We build bikes that suit our personal riding style: fast, playful, nimble in the air and with plenty of feedback through berms. In addition to the weight, the geometry and the suspension system are the key factors for the character of a bike. With the CINTO, we have therefore not simply developed one of the lightest all-mountain bikes in its class, but above all a bike for challenging trails. The progressive kinematics and the extremely complex production in the autoclave process result in a highly reliable bike that responds welll. We use the advantages of the material so that these are also really noticeable. Compared to our very light aluminum frames, we can save more than 1 kg of weight. The directional properties of the frame material carbon allow the material to be designed according to the loads. The carbon fibers are strong and particularly ductile to safely absorb high loads. The CINTO is even approved for ASTM Category 5 in the Superduty Layup - including bike park usage and enduro races.

CINTO

Geometry

The geometry of the CINTO is designed for continuous riding fun on descents and extensive climbing passages. The slack head angle around 65 degrees generates a lot of confidence and ensures precise handling. Seat angle and chainstays are elaborately adapted to the specific frame size and grow with it. This leads to a better weight distribution on the front and rear wheel.The balance of weight distribution is thus maintained even for tall riders. The effective seat angle is always given in relation to the assumed seat height. We take into account that the rider will also sit higher with increasing frame size. We name the frame size according to the typical rider sizes to create an initial orientation in the size selection. The appropriate stem lengths are 35 to 60 millimeters. The short seat tubes and the good retractability of the seat post allow each rider to choose between several sizes - depending on their preference for a longer or shorter bike. When choosing the Superduty Layup forks up to 160 mm travel are allowed. Specified is the geometry with 150 mm fork. Whith a 160 mm fork, the steering angle will be about 0.5 degrees flatter and the reach is shortened by 5 mm. The full geometry with 160 mm fork follows shortly.

Suspension System

Progressive Suspension System

The suspension system of the CINTO is realized with a minimum of rocker arms and bearings. Characteristic is the fine response with small bumps and a lot of support in the mid-travel. The progression is generated essentially by the kinematics of the linkage and not by volume spacers in the air shock nor the damping. The CINTO offers 21% progression starting from the SAG point and is therefore ideally matched to air and coil shocks. The total progression is 33%. We have changed the calculation method to achieve better comparability. The previous calculation method resulted in 29% and 45%.
Anti-Squat

Size-specific Anti-Squat

Pedaling efficiency is generated to a large extent by a good antisquat value, which should be above 100%. It depends on the kinematics of the bike and the center of gravity height of the rider. To always achieve the optimum anti-squat, we adjust the position of the pivot points for each frame size and the expected height of the center of gravity. In blue the graph shows the curve of the anti-squat value for the four frame sizes in relation to the gear engaged. Gray shaded are the curves that would have resulted without size-specific correction. It is clearly visible that the optimized lines are closer together and practically congruent in low gears.
Anti-Rise

Anti-Rise

The anti-rise value determines how neutral the suspension behaves when braking. A value around 100% has proven to be optimal for us, as braking then has no influence on the suspension system. The size-specific optimization of the position of the swingarm pivot point results in practically congruent curves for all four sizes of the CINTO, shown in blue.

CINTO - Layup Options

Layup Options

The new CINTO is available in two different layups. The Superduty Layup is the robust variant for use according to ASTM category 5 in the bike park and at races. This variant always has the integrated storage compartment. The Featherweight Layup comes without the storage compartment in favor of the lower frame weight and instead has a tool mount under the top tube. Through the use of other fibers and the load-specific optimization of the laminate structure, the frame achieves a weight about 300 g lighter with the same stiffness. The range of use for the Featherweight Layup corresponds to ASTM category 4 and the maximum fork travel is limited to 150 mm. Our front triangle and rear triangle are real monocoques - completely manufactured in one piece. This is particularly complex for the rear triangle, whose mold consists of 17 individual parts. The laminate construction of the rear triangle does not differ for Superduty and Featherweight. A robust and high-strength layup is always used.

Frame Platform

The new CINTO represents a versatile frame platform and can be converted into a TARVO, an ASCO or a CELOS. Due to the different rocker, damper specifications and fork lengths, we achieve the right geometry for each bike. Numerous test results confirm that we realize optimal driving characteristics for every model. For conversion to a TARVO, it is necessary to choose the particularly strong and robust Superduty Layup, which is required for enduro use.
CINTO - frame platform
CINTO - handmade in Germany

Handmade in Germany

In addition to the quality of fiber and matrix, the manufacturing quality is decisive for the lightweight construction potential. Only if the prepreg layers are optimally pressed together, a load-bearing structure can be created. This requires craftsmanship and care as well as the masterful control of the manufacturing process itself. In the autoclave process, the material undergoes strong compression due to the applied pressure. At the same time, a vacuum is created in the laminate to remove residual air. Careful process control using process data allows us to verify the quality of each individual frame.

Functional Lightweight construction

To achieve maximum riding fun, we use only high quality materials that allow for optimal function, durability and light weight. The laminated threaded inserts are made of strong and corrosion resistant titanium. The bearings from Endurobearings and bolts have a generous size. The combination of the manufacturing process, fiber and matrix material, and the optimal design of the laminate allow us to create incredibly light frames.
CINTO - functional lightweight construction
CINTO - cooperation with EFBE

Cooperation with EFBE

In addition to lightweight construction, function and safety are fundamental requirements for us. That‘s why, in addition to practical testing, we rely on extensive lab testing. For more than two decades, we have been working with EFBE Prüftechnik GmbH in Waltrop, just north of Dortmund. Both layup variants of the CINTO fulfill the highest strength requirements. With the Superduty Layup, we create additional reserves for tougher use, which are verified in specific tests with test forces beyond the typical test loads.

Spare Parts

Spare parts such as the down tube guard, chainstay guard, bolts and all bearings are available at short notice. The bearings have external dimensions according to common industrial standards. In case of urgency compatible bearings are easy to source worldwide. We install only high quality, very well sealed bearings from Endurobearings in full complement design (some stainless steel). In principle, spare parts are stocked for the long term, so that nothing stands in the way of years of use of the frame. Due to local production and keeping the molds on hand, we can also make entire frame parts available in the long term - should, for example, our crash replacement be called upon.
CINTO - Spare Sparts
CINTO - custom painting

Custom Painting

The frames are painted by Lars Diedenhofen in Hagen. With about 90 grams, the lacquers are very light and give room for individual designs. The frames are lightly sanded before filling. Then the actual paint coat and decals are applied, followed by multiple layers of clear coat. Sanding is carried out several times between the work steps. This way, the logos can be realized in a barely perceptible way. In addition to single-color paint jobs, more complex designs and smaller sample paint jobs are possible on request.

Warranty and crash replacement

Our carbon frames are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 6 years. If the frame is damaged due to a crash, our Crash Replacement Program will take effect. Since we can stock or re-produce the individual parts of the frame, it is rarely necessary to replace the entire frame. The Crash Replacement is valid within the first three years from purchase and includes a 50% discount on the respective frame components.

CINTO - responsibility and enviromental protection

RESPONSIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Good conditions with regard to environmental protection and occupational safety are particularly important to us - whether on site in Dortmund or with our partners and suppliers. That’s why we attach great importance to ensuring that our suppliers come from free democratic countries and that the supply chain is traceable and transparent. The carbon fibers come from Japan and are processed to prepregs in Italy. The lamination of the frames and the milling of the aluminum parts are done in Germany. The storage compartment bags are sewn in Portugal. Finally, all individual parts are tested, assembled and, if desired, built up to a complete bike at our manufactory in Dortmund. We work 100% with green electricity (Naturstrom). Packaging and padding material as well as cardboard boxes are reused where possible. In addition, we try to act as regionally as possible and avoid unnecessary transport.
