Give yourself an edge.

Our ultra precise Lefty fork and responsive 29er Race Geometry blend unstoppable 29er momentum with the quickness and agility of a 26er. Scalpel 29er: just the edge you need.

Features

• SUPERLIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

Available in BallisTec Carbon or SmartFormed Alloy versions. Add in System Integration of the Lefty fork, OPI stem/steerer and Hollowgram SL cranks and you get a complete bike weight our competitors can only dream of.

• ECS-TC SYSTEM

A clamped, 15mm thru axle in the shock linkage eliminates suspension freeplay and provides unmatched center-stiffness for optimum control and steering precision.

• 29'er RACE GEOMETRY

A steep head angle mated to the shortest chain stays and wheelbase in the business, our full-suspension 29er turns tighter, accelerates faster and points-and-shoots better than any other duel-suspension bike on the market, 26ers included.
