Highlights
1
Aluxx-Grade Aluminum
2
Flexpoint Suspension
A proven “single-pivot” design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/ 120mm of rear travel.
3
Overdrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
4
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/ chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetrical chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
5
130mm Fork
130mm of travel up front allows you to easily navigate trail obstacles and singletrack terrain.
6
Tubeless
Tubeless ready, so you can run lower tire pressure for added traction and control.
7
Boost Hub Spacing
Boost 15x110 [F], 12X148 [R] hub spacing improves stiffness, trail handling and tire clearance.
8
Increased Tire Clearance
Run up to 2.6-inch tires on 27.5-inch wheel models and 2.4-inch tires on 29-inch wheel models for increased stability.
