Description
Lightweight, double-butted, Kinesis manufactured 7005 frame with semi-integrated head tube, gussetted down tube, S-bend seatstays & replaceable derailleur hanger
Manitou Slate Super features 30mm cromo stanchions, 100mm of coil sprung/TPC damped suspension, with lockout
TPC is a low pressure/high volume damping system that eliminates heat related problems; the twin independent damping pistons are individually optimized for rebound & compression damping
Tektro's Auriga Comp dual piston hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes
Shimano Deore 27-speed drivetrain features RapidFire Plus SL shifters, Deore rear derailleur and Hyperdrive M442 crankset with SG-X chainrings
Shimano Octalink splined BB and crank interface offers much greater strength & rigidity than the standard square taper design
The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are a MUST due to the disc brake specification. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed
WTB Speed V Sport saddle offers an etra wide platform to support riders of all shapes, with extra long rails to promote a better fit

Reviews
Pros: Strong frame, O.K. part spec
Cons: None for the pricepoint.
Recommendation: I have the Durango SX and it is an O.K. bike. It is a trail hardtail with a more XC geometry. Efficient pedaler.
