Big travel and an aluminum frame join forces to create something magical: an affordable all-mountain bike that climbs as well as it descends. With frame geometry based on the SLAMR X8 LC, the X5 has all-mountain capability in a more wallet-friendly package. Slightly slacker geometry suits lines that demand composure and attention. 150mm of travel front and rear suits those looking to tackle ambitious lines. Hitting the sweet spot between fast-rolling pace and total flickability, the 27.5in. wheelset features 12 and 15mm thru-axles for flex-free, straight-as-an-arrow tracking. Outfitted with a mix of solid Shimano components: Deore brakes, a sexy XT Plus rear derailleur and SLX shifters for consistent performance.
