Description

Designed for trail adventures and rugged terrain, this mountain bike build kit combines durability and performance to cater to riders seeking reliable gear for off-road excursions or daily commutes. Built around a lightweight yet robust 6061 aluminum frame featuring custom triple-toe and double-toe designs with a replaceable derailleur hanger—ideal for tackling rough descents without compromising on longevity—the kit prioritizes seamless integration with its internal cable routing system. Perfect for beginners and intermediate riders alike, this setup ensures confidence on varied terrains while maintaining an accessible price point.

The aluminum straight-leg fork with a chromoly steerer delivers responsive handling, pairing effortlessly with hydraulic disc brakes (Shimano MT200 160mm wave rotors) for precise stopping power in wet or muddy conditions. Whether navigating technical singletracks or conquering steep hills, the 26-inch Kenda Khan tires (2.35” anti-puncture) provide unmatched grip and protection against debris. A Shimano FC-MT210-2 crankset (46/30T) offers versatile gearing options, supported by a smooth-shifting 9-speed cassette (Shimano CS-HG200-9) and trigger shifters that simplify on-the-fly adjustments during rides.

Key components like the aluminum conical top cap headset and suspension seatpost enhance comfort over bumps, while Wellgo platform pedals with DU bearings ensure stable footing even during aggressive maneuvers. The Alex EV-23 rims (32H double-wall) and stainless steel spokes create a sturdy wheel system capable of withstanding heavy use without sacrificing weight. For all-day comfort, the DDK saddle integrates memory foam and elastomer springs to absorb shocks, complemented by ergonomic Kraton grips on the wide 660mm handlebar with 100mm rise.
