Description
Up your trail game. This premium 29er hits a homerun across a field of technical trails. A full carbon frame shaves the grams and leaves you free from gravity's constraints. Buttery shocks deliver a mesmerizing descent. And the drivetrain adds the gravy, pairing a hyperlight crankset with mini-pizza sized gear cluster, so you can spin up cruel climbs with a grin on your face. And it doesn't take a microscope to see performance is in this bike's DNA, down to its elegantly efficient Eagle groupset and launch-ready tires.
- Full carbon frame scales down the weight while keeping your ride feel nimble and agile.
- Agressive enduro/trail geometry gives a 65.9 degree headtube angle.
- Reach: Small (420 mm); Medium (450 mm); and Large (475 mm).
- Internal cable routing keeps shifter, seatpost and brake cables tidy.
- Fox Factory 34 fork absorbs shock with 150mm of travel.
- Fox Factory DPX2 (3-pos) handles well on small or big bumps.
- Truvativ Stylo 6K (with DUB) crankset is impressively light, strong and stiff.
- Shimano XT (piston) hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful all-conditions braking.
- SRAM GX Eagle shifters give rapid response gearing.
- SRAM X01 Eagle rear derailleur provides quick gear changes.
- SRAM GX Eagle chain for durable drive power.
- Fox Factory Transfer dropper seat post.
- Front tire: Maxxis High Roller II 29 x 2.5.
- Rear tire: Maxxis Agressor 29 x 2.3.
