RAMONA, Calif. — February 27, 2014 — Ellsworth Handcrafted Bicycles has announced that its aerospace aluminum, Made in America 27.5” versions of its legendary, award-winning trail bikes — the Truth and Epiphany 275 Enduro — are now available for order at Ellsworth dealers throughout North America or a www.ellsworthbikes.com.

Epiphany 275 Enduro SST.2e

The Epiphany, long touted as the Holy Grail of Trail Bikes, just got a Enduro competition oriented cousin! The 2014 Epiphany Enduro means up, over and across, and to go down — Fast, and light. Featuring a 67 degree head angle and 150 mm of front and 140mm rear travel, the Epiphany 275 Enduro is for those who want the light weight of an XC bike, AND the low slung, relaxed handling of a more gravity oriented All Mountain Bike. Like the original 26” Epiphany, the new Enduro 275 utilizes the time tested evolved, refined, and proven ICT suspension to provide zero energy, fully active travel. The result is a benchmark in maximized efficiency, increased traction and control for more speed, and reduced rider fatigue for more distance — making this bike the perfect choice for the rigors of Enduro racing and all-day all-mountain riding.

The Epiphany 275 Enduro features custom swaged shaped and tapered SST.2e tubing, massive 1.5” swaged, shaped and tapered seat tube, quad cable routing to accommodate various remote cable options, 30.9 mm seat tube and the strategic use of carbon in the rear triangle and upper and control arms. The Epiphany Enduro 275 is available in four sizes (XS to L) and a choice of Ellsworth’s spectacular laser-etched Blue and Black anodized frames, featuring exclusively aerospace materials hand made in the USA.

Truth SST.2e 275

The original Truth, named one of the Top 25 Bikes of the Past 25 Years, now features 120mm of rear travel paired with 27.5” wheels, increased stiffness with 1.5” custom swaged shaped and tapered SST.2e seat tube, quad cable routing to accommodate all today’s various remote cable options, 30.9 mm seat tube and the strategic use of carbon in the rear triangle and upper and control arms. The new Truth SST.2e 275 features the nimble and incredible climbing geometry and wheelbase that made the Truth the legendary XC Race benchmark for over two decades. The 2014 275 model is now coupled with the larger diameter wheels, and increased travel, with a newly tuned ICT suspension system for today’s drivetrain options, including the 1×11 option and 2x options — making this bike another two decade leader in XC Race and Endurance Racing categories. The 2014 Truth features a strikingly beautiful, aerospace aluminum laser-etched frame available in Black and Blue in size XS to Large.
