Highlight
With an all-new ALUXX aluminum frame featuring updated tubing shapes and lighter overall weight, this hardtail delivers smooth, confident handling on off-road terrain. Optimized for either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels depending on the frame size, and a smooth-operating front suspension fork with either 100mm or 80mm of travel, it’s a great choice for aspiring mountain bikers. A host of modern MTB features including wide tire clearance (up to 2.4-inch), thru-axle hubs, internal cable routing, and a clutch-type 1x drivetrain, elevate the trail riding experience.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Modern mountain bike 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.
Improved off-road control
Lower standover height, increased reach allows for more room to work the bike. Paired with the compatibility with high-volume tires (up to 2.4-inch), riders can drive the bike better into the ground for better traction.
Light and durable
All-new ALUXX aluminum frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
