PRINCIPIA 2013

[Extraordinary Perfection]
Extraordinary perfection has always been our number one goal. Principia accepts no
compromise between design, functionality and finish. And we want to give every bike
rider the opportunity to experience the perfect ride. On the mountainbike trails the
perfect ride is all about smoothness, good traction, stability and low rolling
resistance. Our biggest invention for 2013 reflects this idea. The brand new MSL C40T
29er will give you the perfect ride on any trail imaginable. Bumps and obstacles will
not slow you down and the increased contact area will give you much better traction.
If speed and confident handling is your game - there is no alternative.

At Principia, we are proud of our Danish heritage. We respect the Danish tradition for
simple and functional design and we wish to be known as Principia of Denmark. It is
our vision that the Principia brand should be recognized worldwide as a manufacturer
of high end bicycle products. We execute this vision every day by working ambitiously,
passionately and innovatively. Ambition can be dangerous, but when you want to
break new ground, you cannot do it by walking in other peoples footsteps. Principia
wants to be at the cutting edge. We want to set the bar higher than everybody else in
our effort to create the frame for your perfect ride.

[FLOW
TECHNOLOGY]
Principia decided to develop one of the most advanced forks on the market. A fork with the best
balance between weight, horizontal stiffness and comfort in relation to vertical shocks from the
road. After several hundred hours in the laboratory, we are proud to present the FLOW.

TECHNOLOGY:
- Full Monocoque Carbon.
- NEW carbon lay up process based on advanced computer calculated stress simulations.
- Ovalised stem at the fork crown, that tapers from 1 1/2 inches at the bottom to 1 1/8 inches at
the top, ensures superior handling.
- Narrower fork blades offer increased vertical compliance, improved shock absorption
- Lateral stiffness is maintained.
- At 320 grams it is the lightest fork ever developed by Principia.

As a cyclist, you want a fork that can deal with all the challenges the road has to offer. The FLOW
fork unites the three most important requirements: low weight, lateral stiffness, and
comfort. The FLOW gives you the optimum balance between stability on fast descends and
during hard acceleration while offering great comfort and control on uneven roads.
In other words: when you need it the most, you will feel the FLOW.

PRECISION]
It was our goal to develop a rear dropout that combined the precision and stiffness of an
integrated design with replaceability in case of an accident. Principias unique and
patented rear derailleur hanger is one of the most advanced on the market.

TECHNOLOGY:
7005-aluminium for extra long life.
Ultra low weight: 15-grams.
P.11

Large contact surface with the frame improves gear change performance.
Optimum stiffness from four, multidirectional fixing bolts.
Available in five different colours to match individual preferences.

Most cyclists agree that a precise gear change is vital for the ride experience. What fewer
cyclists realise is that the precision of the gear change is determined by the design and
stiffness of the rear derailleur hanger. On your Principia, you will experience the gear
changing performance of a fixed rear dropout from our replaceable design. You can ride
more freely and be more aggressive with your gear changes when you know that a small
mishap will not mean the end of your frame.

[PRINCIPIA 29er
TECHNOLOGY]
29-inch wheels will dominate the trails in the years to come. And no wonder why. There are huge
benefits of choosing the big wheels over 26-inch wheels. With Principias 29er technology you
will get the best possible riding experince on any trail.

TECHNOLOGY:
Smoother ride translates into lower energy expenditure and more speed
Increased traction translates into better grip through mud, snow and slippery rocks
Better stability translates into better maneuvering and increased confidence.
Less rolling resistance translates into more speed on any surface

With Principias new 29er technology you will get all the advantages that a 29er ride has to
offer. Bumps and obstacles will not slow you down and the increased contact point will give you
much better traction. If speed and confident handling is your game there is no alternative.

[PRINCIPIA
MONOCOQUE
TRIANGEL]
The rear triangle transmits your pedal strokes to the rear wheel. As the first manufacturer
in the world, Principia has developed a technology that allows us to construct this part of
the frame in one piece. Our monocoque design saves weight and increases stiffness
compared with traditional tube-to-tube technology.

TECHNOLOGY:
Weaved Principia Carbon with a tensile strength of up to 40 tonnes per cm2 (C40T).
The absence of joints between seattube, chainstays, and seatstays results
in a much stronger frame.
The weight is reduced and the comfort increased through clever use of directional
carbon fibres.

The Principia Monocoque Triangle (PMT) sets a new standard for low weight, stiffness, and
strength. You become faster on the road and in the track. Experience the difference on our
top frame, the RS C40T and our high-end hardtail mountainbike, the MSL C40T.

TECHNOLOGY
ELLIPSE
The latest generation of
Principias trademark elliptical
bottom bracket and head tube
design. The increased diameter
of the idsection of the tubes adds
rigidity and strength without
increasing weight. The ELLIPSE
PROJECT gives you more efficient
power transfer and more control
when it counts.
FLOW
Based on advanced computer
calculated stress simulations
Principia succeeded in developing
a brand new carbon lay up for
the FLOW fork. The new fork is
designed to unite the three most
important requirements: low
weight, lateral stiffness, and
comfort. Narrower fork blades
and an ovalised stem offer
increased vertical compliance and
improved shock absorption while
maintaining lateral stiffness. At
320 grams it is the lightest fork
ever developed by Principia.
XC GEOMETRY
This is the mountainbike frame
geometry that best allows you to
utilize all your power on the climbs
without compromising stability
and control on tricky descends.
The XC GEOMETRY carries on the
acclaimed Principia handling
properties that gives you superior
speed resources whether you
ride to win or just for fun.
CARBON FRIENDLY
SEAT TUBE
Carbon seat posts are generally
light and strong but can be
fragile when fitted incorrectly.
The pressure that the seat post
is subjected to when tightening
the seat clamp can be critical and
even structurally fatal. Principias
unique CARBON FRIENDLY SEAT
TUBE gently distributes the
pressure load over a larger area of
the seat post. This clever design
feature is safer for both you and
your seat post.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Principias INTERNAL CABLE
ROUTING allows the gear cables
to disappear discretely into the
head tube giving the frame a
unique, streamlined appearance
while ensuring that the cables are
protected from dirt and grime at
the same time. Principia ICR has a
completely sealed liner from entry
to exit for easy maintenance and
wire replacement.
PRINCIPIA MONOCOQUE TRIANGLE
With the newly developed
mountainbikespecific carbon
technology, Principia Monocoque
Triangle, the rear triangle of
the frame is a true monocoque
construction made of 100%
carbon fibre. Based on the
proprietary Weaved Principia
Carbon technology PMT sets new
standards for weight, stiffness and
strenght.
DESIGN 2 SIZE
Traditional frame design uses
tubing with identical diameters
and wall thicknesses for all
frame sizes. Either this makes
the smaller frame sizes too
heavy or the larger frame
sizes insufficiently strong and
stiff. Principias DESIGN 2 SIZE
technology optimizes the tubing
specifications for the individual
frame sizes ensuring optimum
riding characteristics for riders of
all sizes.
SX GEOMETRY
Principias SX GEOMETRY adapts
the slope of the top tube to the
individual frame sizes adding more
slope to the smaller frame sizes
and less slope to the larger frame
sizes. This means that tall riders
do not have to use long seat posts
that are structurally weak and
unaesthetical.
29ER TECHNOLOGY
Smoother ride, increased traction,
better stability and less rolling
resistance. There are huge
benefits of choosing 29-inch
wheels over 26-inch wheels. With
Principias new 29er technology
you will get the best possible
riding experince on any trail.
PRINCIPIA_2013
UPC PRINCIPIA CARBON
Principias proprietary carbon
technology combines first class
carbon filaments with a newly
developed layup technique.
UPC uni-directional technology
allows maximum control of the
direction of the fibres enabling
us to carefully finetune key
properties such as stiffness,
strength and comfort. UNI-
DIRECTIONAL PRINCIPIA PRINCIPIA
CARBON exclusively uses
Mitsubishi filaments with tensile
strenghts ranging from 12 (C12T)
to 40 (C40T) tonnes per square
centimetre.
EXTRAORDINARY PERFECTION
INTEGRATED SHIFTING PRECISION
Imagine a replaceable rear
derailleur hanger that allows
you to shift gears with the
precision and reliability of a fixed
non-replaceable rear derailleur
hanger. The INTEGRATED SHIFTING
PRECISION derailleur hanger is a
unique Principia feature which
combines the precision and
rigidity of a fixed derailleur mount
dropout with replaceability.
INTEGRATED SHIFTING PRECISION
is featured on all Principia models.
