Climaxes are built with fairly shallow I-beam frames (which are actually C-channels riveted back to back), the truss rods are rather shallow Which allows the frame to flex considerably. Climax said this was an advantage in negotiating rough track.

However this allows the frame to flex with the operation of the engine, creating the classic Climax Hop. It will be interesting to see if the running gear set up does anything to lessen that.
