Origin
The Modus (Modum in older brand data) is Author's value-positioned carbon hardtail — a 29er that gets you a genuine Toray carbon frame with air suspension and hydraulic disc brakes at a mid-range price. It slots between the alloy Traction/Context bikes and the premium Sector/Magnum, offering carbon weight savings without the top-spec component investment.
