Specs

"With its well-made geo and dream suspension the Hugene guarantees fun in all trail situations."

"Trail-Bike of the year - MTB-News user award 2023"

"Trail-Bike of the year - MTB-News user award 2022"

"PROPAIN haven't just given it a smart look but have successfully updated the geometry and suspension."

"The Hugene is one of those rare bikes that gives you the feeling that you can just pedal for hours on end."

"Increased travel and updated geometry should improve one of our favourite trail bikes."

"Less weight, more fun!"

"Modern geo, nicely integrated riding position and super balanced handling makes it a trail bike par excellence."

"There’s one thing for sure, the Hugene has excellent climbing prowess."

Smart details

Good looks are not everything. Our Hugene 2 also impresses with its inner values and smart details. With quick-change chain guard, durable bearings and internal cable routing, you’ll get more time on the trail than in your garage.

Perfectly protected

To keep your frame protected at all times, our Hugene 2 comes with a custom chainstay and downtube protectors. The chainstay protector absorbs chain vibrations and minimizes noise.

Better safe than sorry

The robust Acros frame bearings are additionally protected by our PROPAIN dirt shields. An extra seal protects the underlying bearings from dust, water and dirt.

Internal cable routing

We installed run cable ducts in our Hugene 2 frame to protect the cables from dirt and eliminate annoying rattling sounds, but also to make the train installation particularly easy.

Highlights

Whether pedaling uphill or going down fast, our Hugene 2 always keeps a cool head. And off the trail it’s just a natural beauty.

The adjustable seatpost is probably one of the most ingenious inventions of recent years. In order to function optimally on the trail, the proper seatpost travel is very important. The following chart shows the recommended minimum inseam for the corresponding frame size. Please keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, as the respective sitting position depends very much on personal habits and preferences.

By combining a flat steering angle of 65.5° with a steep seat angle of 76.5° (effective) and the floating damper, which is centrally mounted in the bike, we achieve exactly this: easy pedalling on the uphill with a lot of pressure on the front wheel and an optimal weight distribution on the downhill. A characteristic that you notice once you get on the bike and never want to miss again afterwards. Remarkably, this geometry change has significantly improved both the uphill and downhill performance. A reach of 476mm with a chainstay length of 445mm at size L makes the new Hugene smoother and more agile than before and creates a noticeable balance.

FAQ

Can I use the Hugene in bike parks?
Our Hugene is assigned to bike category 4. Regular and permanent use on North Shore trails and in bike parks should therefore be avoided. Use in rough terrain and moderate jumps are no problem. After intense use, you should check your bike for damage before and after each ride.

Can I ride a 27.5″ wheel on the rear of the Hugene?
Due to its geometry and frame characteristics, the Hugene is only designed for the use of 29″ wheels. Therefore it is not possible to mount wheels in 27.5″.

Why is the Hugene not available in 27.5″?
With its 29″ wheels, our trail bike is your ideal companion for longer tours or for your local home trails. The large wheels ensure optimal climbing characteristics in the uphill as well as solid performance over sticks and stones in the downhill. We are therefore convinced that 29″ wheels are the better choice for this field of use.

What is the frame mount below the top tube for?
The mount is used to fix straps, tools, tubes or other spare parts that could be helpful on your tour.

Which bottle size fits in the frame?
Attaching drinking bottles up to 0.5 l is no problem. With larger frame sizes, 0.7 l bottles can also be stowed.

What does the delivery include?
The bike comes with three stem spacers, uncut handlebars and all the instructions you need.

What is the maximum tire width that fits the frame?
A general statement is not possible here due to the tolerances of the tire manufacturers’ width specifications. E.g. fit Schwalbe tires up to 2.4, VEE up to 2.35 and Maxxis up to 2.5WT.

How much does the Hugene weigh in my build?
Due to the large selection of components and frame sizes, we cannot make a statement for all combinations. However, we have given weights for our build kits, which you can see in the table above. In the configurator you will also find weight information for each component.

Do you also offer other components that are not listed in the configurator?
No, we only offer the components and color variants that we show in the configurator.

What does my frame look like in the colour Raw?
Carbon raw is a real beauty! The frames are getting a special treatment before we paint them so the carbon surface, which is shining through the paint, is showing its best side. Besides the clear paint there is also a light dark coating applied. This results in a light dark shine of carbon material, especially in sunlight. Each model is different so every method and also materials will differ. That also means every single frame is a unique.
