The "Abandon" model signals one extreme of the "Ultimate Series": with a lightweight Scandium frame, a "Skareb Super" fork from Manitou, XT drivetrain components and Magura's lightweight "Martha SL" stoppers, all the wishes of the cross-country faction are fulfilled. The wheels made from DT Swiss components provide the Swiss touch. On the other hand, those who prefer to compete in long-distance races may be interested in the "Chamois" linkage: The ingenious rear suspension kinematics together with the lockable DT suspension strut prevent bobbing on climbs, while industrial bearings in the rear triangle ensure light response without high maintenance requirements. The complete XT groupset from Shimano and a "Skareb Super" fork from Manitou complete the picture.

Downhill on "Maniac" or "Tremor"
Those who prefer tricky descents to overtaking countless competitors on the climbs will find what they are looking for in the other two models of the "Ultimate Series". The freerider "Maniac" offers generous suspension travel of 150 millimeters at the front and rear. Thanks to the Swinger SPV damper and the four-bar rear suspension, the bike is also easy to ride uphill. However, it is really in its element when the going gets fast and steep downhill. The massive main frame, which is assembled from profiled sheet metal, will easily cope with a forced pace. Finally, the "Tremor" is only available as a frameset: this four-bar linkage offers 200 millimetres of rear suspension travel, which is kept in check by an SPV damper.
