How a 145mm travel bike can be as fast as this one is still something that we’re struggling to get our heads around.

It’s not just in our heads either, the stopwatch has continually shown that this bike is in a league of its own. The combination of great geometry and suspension that never feels out of its depth, even in places where a bike with this much travel should never be, adds up to one hell of a machine. It’s also built like no other bike in its class. What other trail bike can you build up with a 150mm rear hub if you want to?

It also puts many other bikes to shame when it comes to longevity, this frame really is built for people who love to beat the shit out of their bikes, and that’s lucky because that’s exactly what it encourages you to do. It’s no heavyweight though, that strength and reliability comes through quality engineering and materials. To say that this bike is special is almost doing it an injustice. We love it.
