It’s right for you if…

You’re looking for a do-it-all full-suspension mountain bike that’s efficient and fast, but doesn’t shy away from some bigger stuff. You want the added stiffness and weight savings of a carbon frame, but don’t mind saving some money on the parts.

The tech you get

A light and stiff full carbon frame, 130 mm RockShox Pike Select+ fork, 120 mm of rear travel with a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT shock and a new Shimano XT 1×12 drivetrain. Plus, wide carbon Bontrager Line Elite 30 wheels with a 108-tooth Rapid Drive hub for instant engagement, 4-piston brakes for confident descents, Bontrager Line Elite Dropper and carbon handlebars.
