PUSH NEW LIMITS
Push New Limits On Challenging Terrain. This Enduro Ripper Has 160Mm Of Rear Suspension That Eats Up Rocks, Drops And Whatever Comes Your Way. A Three-Position Flip Chip Lets You Adjust Geometry and Switch Out the Rear Wheel From 29-Inch To 27.5.
Key Performance Factors
Race-Bred Suspension
A Maestro rear suspension system with 160mm of travel was developed and tested under the extreme conditions of Enduro World Series races. The trunnion mount shock has a longer stroke (62.5mm compared to 60mm on the previous generation). And the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall weight.
Adjustable Enduro Geometry
Flip chip technology lets you switch between three settings depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.5, 63.9 or 64.2-degree head angle and corresponding 78.3, 78.7 or 79-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 35, 30 or 25mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for trail conditions, riding style and rear-wheel size.
Rear Wheel Option
Riders can choose either the stock 29-inch rear wheel or switch to 27.5. The larger 29-inch option improves stability and roll-over capabilities, while the 27.5 option delivers a more agile, snappier feel. It’s a quick and easy way to adjust the bike’s handling and feel.
