145mm VPP suspension travel, easy-rolling 29" wheels and a superior geometry should ensure that this bike conquers the hearts of mountain bikers. The geometry has been modernized without going too far. The reach has been lengthened to bring the size in line with our current models. The steering angle has been reduced to improve stability at high speeds, the bottom bracket has been lowered to make optimum use of the suspension support and the stack has been increased in favor of modern handlebar geometries.

The characteristics of the rear triangle have also been refined. A linear characteristic curve with more end progression ensures good support in the mid-travel range. A reduced anti-squat value improves the response and ensures an improved riding experience - both uphill and downhill.

The so-called glovebox in the down tube comes with two practical pockets - Tool Wallet and Tube Purse are the names of the two variants. The frame offers space for a flat mount, a bolted bottom bracket and improved cable routing for better shifting performance, easy assembly and less friction. Other familiar features include the Shuttle Guard on the down tube, the impact protection in the bottom bracket area, the small mudguard on the shock and the rubberized chainstay protector for a smooth ride. A new feature is the SAG window, which makes it easier to read the negative suspension travel on the shock. All the same as before: The lifetime warranty on the frame and rear suspension bearings.
