Fast meets fun
Fast, nimble and fun.
Sometimes less is more, especially if you don’t have access to challenging and steep trails. Less travel on easier routes will make you feel more, and it will also give you more fun. Most new bikes offer more travel, more aggressive frame geometry, faster ride times. But at end of the day isn’t the goal of mountain biking simply to have fun?
With this idea in mind, the VHP15 was designed to offer a more enjoyable experience in simpler terrain. The VHP15 prioritises fun,making it the perfect choice for riders who want to relish the thrill of the ride, no matter the difficulty level of the trails.
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.
