PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays partner with dropped seatstays to eat up the chatter from rowdy terrain, boosting control, smoothing the ride, minimizing fatigue. Go harder. Go faster. Go farther.
Full size-specific frame geometry, right down to the chainstay lengths. Keeps the rider centered between the wheels for incredible traction and handling.
Super slack 66.5° head angle delivers confidence and speed on steep descents that other XC bikes just can't match.
Internal cable routing system lets you run full housing for weather-proof reliability, or interrupted housing for maximum weight savings.
