With a simple setup, riders can tailor the bike to their preference, adjusting the spectrum of firm to soft for optimal performance.

• Custom Shock Technology: Unique independently adjustable air springs for the sought-after hardtail "snap" and terrain-devouring forgiveness.
• Optimized Performance: The bike's 75mm of rear travel provides the control and capability of a longer-travel bike, while the Mega Jounce Bumper manages bottom-out smoothly.
