ACROS components are all optimized and aligned for certain defined purposes. It is therefore important that the choice of components on a bike also meets the requirements for safety reserves at all times.

	RD - STREET / ROAD Road bikes are specially designed bikes for bicycle street racing and ambitious cyclists. The weight optimized design, the sportive geometry, 28“ wheels with narrow tires to reduce the friction and the classical drop bar are characteristics for these bikes. Suspension is not needed and will not be found on road bikes To keep the weight as low as possible are many component are made of carbon or titanium, even frames are made of carbon. Due to this technical expertise we can realize weights under 6kg.
	XC – RACE / X COUNTRY The Cross-Country mountainbike is configured for (racing) use on roads and unsurfaced paths, less for deployment in difficult terrain. Typically, the Cross-Country mountainbike is a hardtail, i.e. with suspension only at the front, whereby the spring forks usually have relatively short spring travel of 60 - 100 mm. More and more often, however, mountainbikes with full suspension are used. Alongside V-Brakes, light disc brakes can also be found frequently nowadays on Cross-Country mountainbikes. A low weight is the goal for Cross-Country mountainbikes, in some cases below 10 kg. The seating position on a Cross-Country mountainbike is more extended; the handlebars are straight and without offset.
	AM - ALL MOUNTAIN The All-Mountain Bike is versatile and mostly a full suspension bike. Important for these bikes are reliability and comfort. Due to the comfortable geometry, the adjustable suspension and adjustable seat post these bikes become the real all rounders under the mountain bikes. The travel is in the range of 120mm-160mm, some suspension forks can be used with reduced travel and or with lock out for an increase uphill performance. The wheels have wider and stronger profiled tires than used for XC Bikes, to keep up with all different sorts of terrain. All mountain Bikes can be used for off road touring as well as for trans alp riding. The weight is between 11-15 kg.
	FR - FREERIDE Freeride mountainbikes are conceived for use in difficult downhill terrain in the same way as Downhill mountainbikes. They have full suspension and extensive spring travel of 150 - 200 mm. In contrast to the Downhill mountainbike, the defined purpose is not aligned exclusively to downhill riding. The modern damping systems that prevent the long-stroke suspension from wavering when pedaling and lowerable spring forks for better hill climbing ability on steep stretches mean that Freeride mountainbike riders can complete ascents under their own steam. To an increasing extent, the double-bridge forks typical in downhill sport are not used on Freeride mountainbikes. Instead, a long-stroke spring fork with only one bridge is used to make the bike more agile.
	DH - DOWNHILL Downhill mountainbikes are conceived for fast descents in difficult terrain. As Downhill mountainbikes are mainly moved only downhill and the ascent is usually not under the rider‘s own steam (lift), a high weight of more than 20 kg is regarded as acceptable for these bikes. The high weight is a consequence of the very stable design, required on account of the high loads that occur during descents. The frames have full suspension and extensive spring travel of up to 200 mm or more. The spring fork is almost always designed as a double-bridge spring fork to enable application of the necessary torsional rigidity. This why so-called upside-down spring forks are also occasionally fitted; these can absorb the torsional forces more effectively. The brakes of a Downhill mountainbike are also configured for high loads, which is why disc brakes with large diameters (190 to 210 mm) are deployed. The riders wear protective clothing such as integral helmets, chest, shoulder, arm, and leg protectors, as well as reinforced gloves.
