Size Specific Everything

Every rider deserves the same great ride feel, regardless of height or proportions. We use size-specific seat tube angles and suspension kinematics to bring incredible balance and speed to all riders. Even chainstay length and bottom bracket height are tailored to each frame size.

5 SIZES

We’ve added a third size in the middle of the bell curve to provide a fit that’s just right. With 80% of our riders falling between 5’5” and 6’0,” we introduced a new “Extra-Medium” size. The extra-medium (size 3) now sits in the middle of our size range, while our size five remains the traditional XL.

DW-LINK

We continue to use the critically acclaimed dw-link suspension platform known for its efficient climbing and superlative downhill performance; it sets the standard for modern mountain bikes. Our size-specific kinematics make sure every size bike pedals amazing while still keeping things quiet and calm on challenging trails.

 

Ripmo – Coil Compatible On All Frame Sizes

Drawing on the race-proven HD6 design, the Ripmo now has a coil spring friendly progressive shock rate and shorter clevis which makes it compatible with pretty much any coil shock. Our sizespecific kinematics make sure every size bike pedals amazing while still keeping things quiet and calm on challenging trails.

Internal Frame Storage

Get that gear off your back and into your bike with our frame storage system. The latch operates effortlessly, even in cold, muddy conditions while wearing gloves. The door is waterresistant, rattle-free, and robust. We’ve partnered with Cotopaxi to craft a set of two internal bags for your snacks, tools or whatever. Cotopaxi is known for high-quality construction and sustainable practices; each bag is crafted from remnants and dead stock, making them colorful and unique.

The Bags

Ibis STOW Roll

The tool roll boasts padding, multiple straps, and a zippable pocket. It’s perfect for storing a pump and tire levers or a multitool, tire plug, and AXS battery. If you need it on the trail, this bag’s got a spot for it.

Ibis STOW Pouch

This bag is open for a spare tube, snacks, or whatever you throw at it (or in it).
