"Terra describes the Nera as a bike that can easily crossover from World Cup race tape to the freeride scene. They use high-strength chromoly steel to deliver their desired flex and ride characteristics. Terra also claims excellent vibration damping, and, well, steel is pretty strong, too."
"Paried with the steel frame is Terra's I-Track Suspension Platform, delivering 200-210mm of travel. This patent-pending design boils down to "a floating idler pulley moving along a defined track, actively managing chain growth and the interaction between pedaling forces and suspension kinematics.""
"According to Terra, I-Track allows them to tune their desired anti-squat independently of the axle path. It also eliminates pedal kickback. Terra also claims that the suspension remains fully active regardless of the gear the Nera is in."
Terra Bikes, a boutique Italian manufacturer, has unveiled the Nera, a distinctive mountain bike featuring a hand-built chromoly steel frame available in full 29-inch or mullet configurations. The bike incorporates Terra's proprietary I-Track Suspension Platform, a patent-pending system with 200-210mm of travel that uses a floating idler pulley on a defined track to manage chain growth and suspension kinematics independently. The steel construction provides excellent vibration damping and strength, while the suspension remains fully active across all gears. The geometry combines enduro characteristics with downhill capabilities, featuring a 64-degree head tube angle and moderate reaches, positioning the Nera as a versatile bike suitable for both World Cup racing and freeride applications.
