This all-new three-position flip chip allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry of select Maestro-equipped mountain bikes to better suit riding conditions and rear-wheel size choice (29-inch or 27.5-inch). Located on the upper rocker arm of the Maestro suspension system, on average, the flip chip offers bottom bracket drop adjustments in 5mm increments and also lets you change the head tube angle and seat tube angle by 0.4 degree increments.
