FEATURES:
- A new Maestro rear suspension system with longer travel (160mm) was developed and tested under the extreme conditions of Enduro World Series races. The trunnion-mount shock has a longer stroke (62.5mm compared to 60mm on the previous generation). And the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall weight.
- New flip chip technology lets you switch between three settings depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.5, 63.9, or 64.2-degree head angle and corresponding 78.3, 78.7, or 79-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 35, 30, or 25mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for trail conditions, riding style, and rear-wheel size.
- Riders can choose either a 29- or 27.5-inch rear wheel, paired with a 29-inch front wheel. The larger 29-inch option improves stability and roll-over capabilities, while the 27.5 option delivers a more agile, snappier feel. It’s a quick and easy change to adjust the bike’s handling and feel.
- The option to run a “mullet” setup with a 27.5 rear wheel. This translates into a short chainstay length, a shorter reach, and geometry that can be adjusted via a three-position flip chip.
- An updated Maestro suspension system delivers 160mm of rear wheel travel mated to a 170mm fork.
- New integrated down tube storage provides convenient carrying capacity for trail riding essentials.
