We Created a Monster.
More is more, especially if you love DH Racing, Freeride, or long days in the Bikepark. More Travel means you won´t get tired as fast, so you can charge harder and longer. However, what you won´t believe is how well this bike pedals. It has a super high anti-squat and pedals super easy to the top so that you can as well use it as a super enduro.
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.
