THE MEDUSA DEKA
A MODERN ADVENTURE BIKE
The Medusa Deka Rando-Trail has been designed as an answer to the needs of the modern adventure cyclist, ticking boxes that off-the-peg touring, gravel and mountain bike frames often struggle to tick. Aspects of a sporty geometry are blended with comfort inspiring features, making for a well-handling ride, even when loaded up with bikepacking equipment.
Short chainstays enable a bike that climbs exceptionally well - even on loose or wet surfaces - while a touring bike specific fork trail and low bottom bracket provide stability on rough terrain and optimal handling for long days in the saddle. To keep the back end short, a raised driveside chainstay design has been employed, meaning the need for a traditional machined yoke can be foregone. This improves stiffness and keeps the weight down.
Prices for the Medusa Deka frameset start at £3500 and specification for full bike builds can be discussed, as required.

Further stiffness in the rear triangle is achieved through the use of an ‘over and under’ non-driveside chainstay configuration which attaches to the seat stay. This helps to reduce the torsion generated when braking hard, especially when riding loaded up with gear. Additionally, a ‘triple triangle’ design attaching the seatstays to the toptube increases stiffness in the rear triangle. All these features combined with boost rear axle spacing make for responsive and efficient ride characteristics, ideal when combined with 29er rims which are naturally a more flexible rim size.
