Key Performance Factors
Modern MTB Design

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.
