Across cross country race courses, through mountain passed, down singletracks and flowtrails, this lightweight performance machine satisfies women who crave speed and control.

The Obsess Advanced frame is handcrafted in-house with Advanced-grade Composite frame material, and purposefully engineered to maximise the advantages of the 27.5-inch wheel size. Obsess Advanced is light, agile and manoeuvrable, yet stable on technical trails. Technology features include the OverDrive steerer tube for pinpoint steering precision and a women’s-specific carbon layup to produce stability and stiffness that’s tuned for female racers. A PowerCore bottom bracket for better pedalling efficiency, plus clean internal cable routing and an integrated seatpost clamp give you an edge on the competition and terrain.

  • Weight
    The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
