Key Performance Factors

Modern MTB Design

Tapered fork steerer tubes*, quality components including a 1x drivetrain* with clutch-equipped rear derailleurs, thru-axle hubs*, internal cable routing (including dropper seatpost) and an integrated chainstay protector give aspiring trail riders room to grow. *on select models

Off-Road Control

New geometry is optimised for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size. All models have clearance for high-volume tyres (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

Light and Durable

All-new ALUXX aluminium frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
