Anyone who knows anything about frame building will immediately recognize the thinking behind the creation of the Major. No expense in detail has been spared; the design incorporates a ‘Press Fit’ bottom bracket to maximize the stiffness of the drive line, at the same time increasing welding space for the oversized down tube, seat tube and chain stays. The Major’s tapered head design and out-and-out racing geometry invites its rider to lean forward and push ever harder. If flawless road performance and tarmac disappearing into a blur beneath your feet thrills you, the Major is the frame for you.
CREATED FOR THE SHEER JOY OF RIDING AGAINST THE OPEN ROAD
For the road-riding enthusiast that loves the sensation of riding fast, the Major - pronounced ‘My-awe’ – is an awesome steed on the straight, in the narrow and around bends. Its stiff, light and durable frame suits an aggressive riding style so it’s ideal for the step-up to club racing or solo flights chasing the clock.

THE PLACE
N 39° 47′ 28″ / E 2° 46′ 29″
AFTER SA CALOBRA, THE SECOND MOST POPULAR CLIMB IN MAJORCA IS THE THE PUIG MAJOR; FROM SOLLER UP TO TUNEL DE MONNABER. WHAT MAKES IT SO TOUGH IS THE LENGTH OF THE ASCENT - A FULL 14KM FROM BOTTOM TO TOP. THAT SAID HOWEVER, THE GRADIENT IS STEADY AT AROUND 6% WITHOUT EVER IT GETTING TOO STEEP.
The beginning of the climb is almost sea level, rising up the M10 after Soller, with a total at the tunnel at the top of just over 800 meters. Although there is another road rising after the tunnel, it is part of a military base and not accessible to everyday cyclists. If you fancy a break, or need to fill up your water bottles, a small detour from the main road at just about 4km from the start of the climb will take you to Fornalutx, a small village where you can get a good coffee.
Really top riders will manage to climb the Puig Major from Soller in under 40 minutes, but anything under an hour is considered a good result. But with plenty to look at from the saddle, just taking it easy and taking it all in is recommended, too.
