Corratec MTC Elite Trapez

The “MTC Elite Trapez” model from Corratec, released in 2023, is a high-quality bicycle that stands out for its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The price for this model is 1299 EUR.

At the heart of the bike is the MTC Trapez frame, which ensures stability and comfort. The braking system consists of Clarks M2 disc brakes at both the front and rear, fitted with 180mm brake discs at the front and 160mm brake discs at the rear. This combination ensures reliable braking performance in a variety of conditions. The brake levers are also Clarks M2 and offer precise control over braking force.

The MTC Elite Trapez is fitted with the Shimano T8000 Deore XT groupset, which is renowned for its reliability and shifting precision. The shift lever is from the Shimano Deore series, as is the front derailleur. In total, the drivetrain offers 10 gears, allowing for versatile adaptation to different riding conditions. The crankset and cassette – Shimano Deore and Shimano HG50-10 11-36T 10S respectively – contribute to efficient power transfer.

Riding comfort is ensured by the SR Suntour XCM fork with 80 mm of travel, which absorbs bumps on the trail. Power is transmitted via a chain, which is a tried-and-tested, low-maintenance solution.

The handlebars and stem are made from ZZYZX SL Alloy, giving the bike stable and lightweight handling. The ZZYZX 29er Disc rims at the front and rear are fitted with Schwalbe Smart Sam 29" tyres, which are renowned for their good traction and durability.

The saddle – the ZZYZX Trapez model – and the seatpost, also made from ZZYZX SL Alloy, offer the rider additional comfort and support whilst riding.

In summary, the 2023 Corratec MTC Elite Trapez offers a balanced blend of performance, comfort and reliability. It is ideal for riders looking for a versatile bike that performs well on both roads and unpaved trails.
