Redline’s infamous Device frame has undergone some changes for the new year. Generation 5 (G5) of the Device frame features heat-treated Sanko cr-mo tubing, a new integrated head tube shape (with removable detangler tabs), a lighter, butted top tube, a lighter down tube, an externally CNC machined seat tube, CNC machined Mid B/B with a lighter ovalized B/B yoke and a new laser cut seat stay brace. The changes all add up to one thing: a weight of under 5 pounds.
But those aren’t the only changes. The Device frame now features removable/blot-on brake mounts, cable mounts and gyro tabs. And the down tube is now internally gusseted. Finally, you’ll probably notice the limited edition black crackle paint job. Also new. But just in case you want something different, Redline also offers the Device frame in blue fade and white/green. Oh yeah, the Device now comes stickerless. The frame comes with a decal pack, and you can leave it untouched or decorate it however you please.
As for geometry, Redline has all the bases covered. Top tube sizes of 20.5”, 20.75” and 21”. Head tube angle of 75 degrees, seat tube angle of 71 degrees, chainstay length of 14.25”.
