Description
Super light long travel. Say it 120 times and you've got our XC oriented platform of 120mm travel bikes. Steep geometry, light components, integrated headset, and plush, extra large cross-country travel. For those rugged, long, hammerdown trails, this bike takes the edge off the beast without being beastly. Trust us, it will all make sense once you get this bike into the backwoods.

Pros: -I like nothing about this bike
Cons: -Junk suspension components
-Too much travel for such a steep head angle
-1st bike I've ever ridden where the pedal bob was a nuisance
Recommendation: Quite possibly the most awkward bike I've ever ridden. The head angle is not slack enough to fully utilize the front suspension. This makes for a really tall and lanky "xc" oriented bike that isn't really good at anything. I
