Spearfish Mountain Bike – Dominating XC Trails & Endurance Rides
Engineered for relentless trail performance, the Spearfish MTB redefines versatility across cross-country adventures and technical descents. Its 6066-T6 aluminum chassis combines lightweight durability with aggressive geometry optimized for speed and control—ideal for riders tackling XC races or multi-hour backcountry expeditions.
Suspension & Handling
The proprietary Split Pivot system delivers balanced responsiveness—maintaining full rear wheel traction during steep climbs while staying composed under aggressive braking on downhill sections. A 67.8° head tube angle paired with a long top tube and short stem creates a stable yet agile ride profile, perfect for maintaining momentum on rolling terrain or navigating tight switchbacks with precision.
Customizable Fit
Rear Flip Chip technology lets you fine-tune geometry in minutes:
– Trail Mode: Slightly slacker head angle (67°) + lower BB height = playful cornering
– Race Mode: Steeper head angle (68°) + raised BB = aggressive climbing posture
Practical Innovations
• Integrated front triangle storage fits two full-size water bottles across all frame sizes—ideal for multi-hour trail missions
• Super Boost 157x12mm rear hub spacing improves chainline while maintaining compatibility with standard-width bottom brackets
• Shortened 432mm chainstays enhance maneuverability compared to traditional XC rigs
