The tailor-made aluminum frame with a four-bar linkage and enduro geometry balances performance and cost for gravity-fueled fun. With a 170 mm Marzocchi Bomber Z1 up front and a tuneable 165 mm Bomber Air in the rear, it's trail-ready and downhill-rated for fun. It's fully kitted out with a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain for responsive shifting and includes the high-performance stopping power of Shimano four-piston brakes with 200 mm rotors.
