Presenting the revamped Shan 5 – Production Privée's flagship and most versatile model, which riders find an absolute joy. Now meticulously crafted in their Andorra facility, they've taken its performance to unparalleled levels.The latest version of the Shan 5 stands as a testament to a vision that Production Privée initiated three years ago, in partnership with Forestal, aimed at refining their production methodologies. Adhering to the core identity of the Shan N5, they incorporated a multi-material design philosophy.
Steel, with its resilient and unique attributes, remains a dominant choice. By utilizing the specialized properties of the MCS 4130 heat-treated steel, they've struck an impeccable balance of mechanical strength and weight for the front triangle.Yet, the innovations didn't stop there. Aiming to uplift the frame's dynamic attributes, after extensive evaluations spanning from mechanical attributes to reliability, they embraced the carbon composite for the swingarm. With Forestal Group's profound expertise in carbon composites, they engineered a swingarm that's nearly half the weight of the earlier model, while simultaneously enhancing the frame's dynamic capabilities.This transition offers a plethora of advantages for riders. The diminished unsprung weight translates to a more vibrant suspension, and their bespoke carbon fiber lay-up technique allows them to pinpoint the desired stiffness for the frame. The end product? A bike that doesn't just feel lighter but is remarkably agile. They've broadened the frame's operational spectrum, ensuring improved pedaling efficiency without compromising its downhill competencies.
