A built-in flip chip allows for easy adjustment, offering compatibility with either 29-inch wheels (standard across all sizes) or an optional mixed-wheel (MX) setup (29-inch front / 27.5-inch rear) for specific sizes, letting you fine-tune the ride.
Durable Aluminium Construction: Crafted from robust aluminium, this frameset ensures long-lasting durability and a resilient ride feel, ready to endure countless hours on the trails.
