Horsethief Trail Bike: Your Ultimate Adventure Companion
Built for riders who demand versatility, the Horsethief mountain bike conquers everything from rugged singletrack to scenic backcountry routes. Whether you’re tackling technical descents or enjoying a leisurely ride with friends, this bike delivers confidence-inspiring performance with every pedal stroke.
Key Features for Trail Domination:
– Optimized Suspension System: The 120mm Split Pivot rear suspension stays responsive under braking, while the 140mm fork smooths out rough terrain for a balanced, controlled ride.
– Agile Yet Stable Geometry: A 67-degree head tube angle and short-stem/long-top-tube design ensure stability at high speeds without sacrificing low-speed maneuverability—perfect for tight switchbacks or fast downhill sections.
– Customizable Setup: Adjust the head tube angle and bottom bracket height with the rear flip chip to match your riding style, terrain, or wheel size preference (supports 27.5″+ or 29″ wheels).
– Smart Storage Solutions: Two bottle mounts inside the front triangle let you stay hydrated, while compatibility with Anything Bracket accessories means gear storage won’t slow you down.
Built for Upgrades & Adaptability
– Shorter Chainstays (432mm): Super Boost 157mm rear spacing improves traction and climbing efficiency.
– Tire Flexibility: Run 29×2.5″ front/2.4″ rear tires for speed or switch to plus-sized 27.5×3.0″ for extra cushion on rocky trails.
