<p>The Recluse 275 isn't shy about chomping down on steep, gnarly, North Shore-esque terrain. A head tube angle of 66 degrees makes steep, technical descents feel solid and fun. The secret to its eagerness lies in the link system that gives it compact chainstays and a shortened wheelbase. Expect efficient, smooth climbing, confident ripping and subtle arcing through corners. The Pro build uses high-end components from well known brands to make a reliable and high-performance machine. SRAM X1 Shifters and X01 rear-derailleur ensures the 1x11 shifting goes smoothly while the SRAM Guide RS brakes uses the 180 and 160mm rotors to keep things under control. A light, strong Race Face crank uses its 32T to power the massive 9-44T E-Thirteen cassette.</p><ul><li>Monocoque unidirectional carbon frame is light, strong and sharp looking</li><li>Angular Contact/Collet Bearing System with replaceable Grease Zerks allows for easy maintenance</li><li>i-BOX Pivot System allows for compact seatstays and a shortened wheelbase for a remarkably nimble and efficient ride</li><li>148x12mm spacing at the rear and 100x15mm in the front</li><li>JS Tuned rear linkage result in a very efficient and balanced feel while fighting or enjoying gravity</li><li>Tapered head tube shaves grams and improves stiffness</li><li>Flak guard protects the down tube from rock lift-off</li><li>FOX Float 36 Performance Elite is tuneable and can be locked out</li><li>FOX Float Performance X2 rear shock with travel of 140mm</li><li>Internal routing looks clean and keeps cables protected from impacts</li><li>27.5in.
