Features
Alpha Gold Aluminum
Our high-performance lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and cold extruded and butted, and formed into manipulated tube shapes to balance strength and save weight.
G2 Geometry
Advanced frame geometry and a custom offset fork give our 29ers precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. We call it G2 Geometry, and it;s why our 29ers handle better than anyone else's.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Hydraulic disc brakes offer the absolute strongest stopping power in all conditions, including wet and muddy
Suspension lockout
Locked suspension means your fork remains inactive, increasing pedaling efficiency. Perfect for extended road sections where efficiency is more important than bump absorption.
