Performance-Driven DNA
– Optimized Suspension: Split Pivot kinematics deliver 120mm of active rear travel that maintains traction during hard braking, paired with a plush 140mm fork for controlled impact absorption
– Agile Yet Stable Geometry: A slack 67° head tube angle boosts downhill stability while short stems/long top tubes enhance low-speed control through switchbacks
– Shorter Chainstays: Super Boost 157mm hub spacing creates nimble 432mm rear ends (5mm tighter than prior models) for quicker cornering responses
