Design and Performance
Reviewers highlight the bike's efficiency and contemporary geometry, noting its strengths as a "do-it-all" trail machine.
BikeRadar
BikeRadar +1
Geometry: Designed with a slack 65.1° head tube angle (adjustable by +/- 0.6°) and a steep 78.5° seat angle (at 75cm saddle height) for efficient climbing and stable descending.
Integrated Suspension: The rear shock is hidden within the frame, creating a clean look and protecting it from debris. Sag measurement is simplified via an external dial at the main pivot.
Ride Quality: Experts from BikeRadar state it is a "super-efficient machine" that zips along smooth singletrack and fire roads. However, they noted the lower-end X-Fusion shock can feel over-damped and struggle to remain composed on very technical, chunky terrain.
Weight: The bike weighs approximately 34.8 lbs (with tubes) for a medium frame.
