- Front Axle: 15mm Thru x 110mm
- Brake Type: Disc
- Fork Type: Suspension
- Frame Material: Aluminum
- TT (Effective): 636

- Frame Type: Suspension

- Aluminum frame and Split Pivot suspension design with 120mm of efficient travel, remaining fully active under braking while supportive throughout its travel, paired with a 140mm suspension fork

- A short stem paired with a long top tube, combined with a 67-degree head tube angle provides descending confidence, yet balances overall wheelbase length and slow speed maneuverability

- Every size fits two full-size bottles in the triangle; Anything Bracket and top tube mounts boost cargo space for pack-free riding bliss
- Super Boost 157 x 12mm rear hub spacing combined with a standard width bottom bracket results in a 432mm chainstay length that's 5mm shorter than previous-generations

- Rear flip chip adjusts head tube angle and bottom bracket height for terrain, wheel size, and personal preference

- Spec'd with a 29 x 2.5'' front and 2.4" rear wheel/tire combination, but can accommodate a range of additional sizes of 27.5 x 2.8 - 3.0" and 29 x 2.2 - 2.6''
