The mountain bike experience starts here. With a redesigned frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs, and a 1x drivetrain, this aluminum hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance.
Modern MTB Design
Tapered fork steerer tubes, quality components including a 1x drivetrain with clutch-equipped rear derailleurs, thru-axle hubs, internal cable routing (including dropper seatpost) and an integrated chainstay protector give aspiring trail riders room to grow.
Off-Road Control
New geometry is optimized for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size. All models have clearance for high-volume tires (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

All-new ALUXX aluminum frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
