Votec has consistently revised the well-known VX and VM product lines and added the short-stroke VXs and VMs models. All new models are based on the Boost standard, internal cable routing for the gears, brakes and dropper post as well as a metric trunnion mount shock and drive-neutral kinematics. A FlipChip on the rear triangle allows additional fine-tuning of the geometry to suit the riding style or terrain.

VX and VXs are the two models with 29-inch wheels. Thanks to the new Boost mounting dimensions and massively increased tire clearance, they can accommodate not only 29-inch but also 27.5-inch Plus wheels. In combination with the standard Boost fork, a second set of wheels is enough to turn every VX and VXs into a plus bike. The FlipChip on the rear triangle also serves to adapt to the slightly smaller circumference of the 27.5 Plus wheels.

The Votec VXs relies on 120 millimeters of travel, 29-inch wheels and fast handling. It is made to actively play with the terrain and effectively take every ramp at speed. The Votec VX offers more reserves for aggressive riding with a flatter geometry, 140 millimeters of travel and adapted equipment. The new Votec VX is a modern all-mountain bike with a big foot. With its robust equipment, it appeals to riders who like to choose direct lines and let the riding stability of the large wheels work for them.

VM and VMs are the two models with 27.5-inch wheels and plenty of tire clearance. The long-travel VM frame relies on 160 millimetres of travel at the front and 155 millimetres at the drive-neutral rear. In addition to the long front and the central center of gravity, a slack steering angle and a steep seat angle on the VM ensure that you can face rough descents just as calmly as alpine climbs. If you are looking for more dynamics and more direct trail feedback, the lighter and more agile Votec VMs is the right partner. The short-travel VMs has 140 millimeters of travel at the front and rear. The new VMs is crisp, light and effective enough for long distances, but becomes a flow hunter and cornering predator on fast home laps. The steep seat angle makes powerful climbing easy, while the moderately slack steering angle strikes the right balance between aggressiveness and agility.

Each bike features a Vario seatpost, powerful brakes, wide-ratio drivetrains and tubeless-optimized wheels with wide rims and tires. A tubeless kit, shock pump and torque wrench are included as standard for professional set-up.
All models will be available during November.
