The adjustable RIDE-9™ geometry system provides flexibility depending on your riding style or trail conditions, while the 160mm travel offers excellent suspension capabilities to absorb bumps and jumps you may encounter.
The Shimano Deore XT groupset ensures precision and reliability in gear shifts, letting you smoothly navigate any terrain with ease. You can count on the Shimano XT Trail 4 Piston brakes with metal pads to deliver powerful stopping power, allowing for confident descents even when things get a little wild. The combination of a 203mm front rotor and a 180mm rear rotor means you’ll experience consistent braking performance, whether you're flying downhill or climbing tough inclines.
The bike rolls on WTB ST Light i30 TCS 2.0 Tubeless wheels, which are built for performance. These tubeless-ready wheels not only reduce the risk of flats but also allow for lower tire pressures, increasing traction when you need it most. The 29-inch wheels provide stability and a smooth ride over rugged terrains, making them perfect for tackling challenging trails. The Fox 38 Float EVOL GRIP Performance Series fork with 170mm travel brings a level of responsiveness and control that will make you feel at one with the bike.
