Octane One Void 2014

The Void is a steel dirt oriented frame designed to work with 26” wheels. Custom butted tubes, beefed up in the stress areas keep the weight low and strength high. An additionally reinforced top tube / seat tube junction is tough enough to survive abuse from tailwhips and 360’s. The Void is an advanced frame made from high quality double butted 4130 cro-mo steel. Same proven strength as last year.

The frame has a quite steep head angle and a very compact rear end for ultra quick handling. The Void has been equipped with a standard threaded BB shell so you can easily fit your favourite mountain bike cranks. Long smooth tapers added on both chain stays and seat stays give the perfect clean look and plenty of material where it’s needed to make a strong connection with the small and elegant dropouts.

void_2014_07

Void comes with new laser cut seatstay bridge plate. There are no cable guides attached permanently to the frame – we provide optional removable 3M cable guides if you need to support your brake cables.

Video: Balling out of Control

This summer, Louis Lhomel (NS Bikes), Parappa (NS Bikes) & Matt Macduff (Octane One) went on one of the most out of control trips they’ve been on in years! The goal was to explore key major cities in the province of Quebec other than Montreal. With a tight schedule (5 days) and variable weather, they chose to head up to the old and beautiful Quebec City and one of the best street riding cities they’ve hit yet, Sherbrooke.

 

 

Eventhough Quebec City had truly amazing street spots, it was flooded with security guards everywhere and made it really hard to film, so the boys didn’t stick there too long. On the road to Sherbrooke, they stumbled upon an abandoned quarry and couldn’t resist sending a couple gainers into it! Once they got to Sherbrooke everything just set into place; crazy street spots, no security guards and the best guide/best person ever, Pierre-Marc Tremblay! The boys were so stoked they called up Sam Croteau (NS Bikes) & Kent Woods (NS Bikes) to show up and shred for a day or two!

All in all, the trip’s unforgettable vibe represents the true friendship here at LamaCycles. We hope this video gives you the urge to trip around with your best friends in the winter and next summer to discover new destinations, great locals and build lifetime friendships! Enjoy!
