The new alloy MonoLink has the same outer dimensions as the older MonoLink but the bottom bracket position has been moved slightly up and forward. This new position allows the ride to be more active on the small bumps and even suppler while out of the saddle on downhills. Although the new alloy link is about 80 grams heavier, the durability has increased tenfold. These are available as upgrades. (Note: the magnesium MonoLink has 68mm BB width; the Alloy BB width is 73mm.
