The Fastest XC Descender
What makes VHP12 so unique? It has all the genes of VHP16, but only 120mm of travel. It offers more traction on steep climbs than other xc bikes and almost feels like a mini-DH bike on the descents. What´s the downsides? Well, a bit more drag in the drive train this bike is for super-fast XC laps not for long distance marathon.
If you love cross country, uphills and long mountain rides,but still would like to have super fast and stable on the descends this is the best choice you can make.
Virtual High Pivot Suspension Design
While many high-pivot frames use a single-pivot or linkage-driven single-pivot suspension design, our frames rely on the trusted Horst Link suspension layout. VHP stands for Virtual High Pivot.
