Trust approaching the limit
Don’t hesitate when others slam the brakes. The 66.5° slack head angle provides the stability and control needed to dominate descents. Brake late. Turn decisively. Conquer descents.
Stay centered
Proportional Response chainstays and the vertical seat tube angle keep you centered between the wheels for better traction and more powerful pedaling on climbs, with more control on descents.
Control the terrain
Flex zones in the chainstays work with the lower stays to absorb vibrations and reduce impacts, increasing control, smoothing the terrain, and reducing fatigue. Ride more aggressively. Ride faster. Push your limits.
*PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE GEOMETRY*
Frame geometry is size-specific, including chainstay length. Keeps the rider centered between wheels for incredible traction and handling.
*SLACK HEAD ANGLE*
The 66.5° slack head angle delivers confidence on fast or steep descents that other XC bikes can’t match.
*CONVERTIBLE CABLE STOPS*
The internal cable routing system allows full housing for maximum weather protection, or interrupted housing with exposed cable sections for weight savings.
