Built to withstand World Enduro Series demands while remaining approachable for weekend warriors, this bike excels in “technical descent scenarios requiring precise weight distribution” and “all-day endurance rides needing vibration damping.” The proprietary Split Pivot™ design ensures exceptional chain retention even during violent root strikes – a common failure point in competitor models using standard Horst Link systems.

Available exclusively in eye-catching Red finish, each Cassidy comes pre-configured with tubeless tires and includes a full manufacturer’s warranty on all components – a rarity in premium enduro bikes that typically warranty frames only.
