The entry level Rivette. No entry level ride though, with handling based on the acclaimed H6.

H2 - 1

The new Rivette H2 might be an entry-level mountainbike, but make no mistake about it - it's still very much a racing bike, offering a high stiffness-to-weight ratio (STW) and a racing geometry. Rivette mountainbikes are designed with internal cable routing, which not only gives the bike a clean look, but also keeps the dirt out of your gears, making your cables last longer and keeping your shifting on the beat, no matter the conditions! No external cables also means no cable stops. Those annoying little things, which have the habit of either bruising your thighs in the case of a not-so-flattering dismount, or dig in to your shoulder if you have to carry your bike while crossing a non-rideable obstackle. The Rivette design features hugely oversized tubes, making an extremely stiff frame with superb power transfer and excellent riding abilities. Due to the Rivette system shim, the oversize tubing scales down to a smaller-diameter seatpost, offering a little flex for comfort. We like that combination, and we are sure you and your back will like it too.

Geometries

Proportional Fit is the name of the geometry concept that H series geometry is based on. The fundamental idea of Proportional Fit is a completely proportional frame size graduation based on seating position. Based on a fixed course for stem length and saddle height the sizes of the Rivette H series are absolutely proportional. In that way it is very easy to adjust small deviations like legs compared to the length of the upper body using small corrections in stem length. That is small variations (1-2 cm) which do not have an impact on the handling properties. The system has fully backing from all physiological statistic data and riders in the limited sized in particular will experience a lot better driving position. Additional information of Rivette geometries is found in the Rivette Log.

* Please note that head tubes designed for integrated head sets, like the Rivette H series, are generally around 15-20 mm longer than head tubes designed for regular head sets. This is to compensate for the shorter stack height of the integrated head set.
All measurements in mm unless otherwise noted.
