The term “flickable” was first used back in the 80s to characterize roadracing or sport bikes that could quickly transition cornering directions. It was in the 80s that engineering, manufacturing, and tire technology improved to the point that roadracing bikes, especially GP machines could be ridden with sudden extreme force of input without the bike trying to spit the rider off. This was accomplished with ultra-rigid frames, steep head angles, and well damped suspension. This tech trickled down to street bikes and soon bikes like the Kawasaki GPz-550 were deemed flickable.

oh my god beautiful bike.Its a shame these short chainstays and me have parted ways..I had previous generation of the balance and now after a few bikes I cannot go back to short chainstays, anyways.. about this topic, to me the one of the best frames is the Canfield one.2.... 200mm, dropper compatible.. you can short stroke to 180mm, pedals fantastic.

The idea started out as a beadlock concept, then evolved into a beadlock with rim protection, then just rim...
