Depending on the equipment it can either be the ultimate weapon for World Cup Downhill, the ultimate hardcore Freerider or even the super fast Dualbike
The perfect basis for all leisure time riders: depending on what the rider wants, the frame/bike can be changed and equipped differently without having to buy a whole new frame each time.

Individually adjustable head angle

Eccentric headset insert, for an individual adjustment of the headangle, without reducing the BB Offset and seat angle! This can be found on all Octane from 2000 to 2002 and of the Octane DH from 1999 to 2001. High Octane FR : Serially mounted silver headset insert which permits an adjustment of the head angle from 65° to 67°, in OnePointFive-Standard. Black headset insert for 11/8” standard and adjustment of the head angle from 64,5° to 67,5° in the small spare part box, which comes with the bike/framesets. High Octane DH : Serially mounted black headset insert which permits an adjustment of the head angle from 64,5° to 67,5°, in a 11/8” standard. Silver headset insert for OnePointFive- Standard and adjustment of the head angle from 65° to 67° in the small spare part box, which comes with the bike/framesets.

How to adjust the headangle: Since the head angle adjustment has proved itself on team bikes of our DH-World cup team we also offer it on our OCTANE models. You only need: - A 40mm wrench (11/8”) - The 56mm wrench (OnePointFive) which accompanies the bike/frameset - A torque wrench with a 4mm Allen key 1. Loosen the 3 screws on the head tube with a 4mm Allen key but do not remove them completely. These screws hold the internal head tube in place. (It is not necessary to disassemble the fork or any other components.) 2.. Turn the silver/black headset insert with a 40mm wrench (11/8”) or with the 56mm wrench (OnePointFive) which accompanies the bike/fra meset. Check the slot on the bottom side and in front of the internal head tube. The slot should always be in line with the slot of the head tube clamp.

 

Adjustable FR rear travel	Adjustable DH rear travel	IMPORTANT !
When using the 190mm rearshock (eye to eye 190mm, travel 51mm), you can only have one of the followingrear travels:137mm, 150mm, 160mm, 170mm and 180mm. The rear travel can be adjusted on the main frame through the drillings at the shock mounts. In the top drilling the rear travel is the shortest and on the contrary on the lowest hole you have the longest rear travel.	With the use of the 222mm rearshock (Eye to eye:222mm ; Travel : 70mm), you can have any of the following rear travels:180mm, 195mm, 210mm, 225mm or 240mm. 250mm is even possible with a Rock Shox Deluxe Pro suspension. The rear travel is adjustable thanks to the different drillings on the shockmounts fixed to the main frame. If you want the shortest rear travel, you have to use the top assembling hole. If you want the longest one, it is the bottom assembling hole that counts	Note that you have to mount Rearshocks always with the container (Piggy Pack), as shown underneath in the positions "front-top”. Mounting the suspension in a different position can lead to severe damages at the frame, the rear and the suspension!

 

Set-Up High Octane FR		Set-Up High Octane DH
For the adjustment of the negative travel (SAG) of High Octane it is really important to check first if the coil fits to the weight of the rider. Inline we will have size S/M equipped with coil 500 x 2.0 for recommended weight of rider at 70-80 kg, size L/XL with coil 550 x 2.0 for recommended weight of rider at 75-85 kg. If the recommended coil for the weight of the rider is mounted on the bike, you can start to adjust the SAG. With an eye to eye distance of 190mm and a shock travel of 51mm we recommend a SAG of 17mm. When sitting on the bike there should be an eye to eye distance of 173mm. An easy way to control the SAG is to use the SAG-Boy on the back of the full suspension manual. For the correct adjustment of the different variables of the 5th element Rear Shock please consider the Manuel of the rearshock manufacture.
