Our entry-level ONE-SIXTY keeps the price low but the performance high, because we use suspension from legendary brand Marzocchi, super grippy rubber from Continental and Shimano's durable Deore drivetrain. Add in our progressive geometry, the option of mixed 29/27.5" or full 29" wheels and award winning FAST kinematic suspension and you can race, rip and rally any enduro trail you fancy, even if you're not flush with cash.
Evolution or revolution? How about both? The ONE-SIXTY is a radical, award-winning design that pushes our hard-hitting enduro platform to new heights. Just as well, because once it’s there it’s ready to rip the longest, toughest descents too. Our proven suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker, so whether you choose to run it as a full 29er (162 mm travel) or mixed 29/27.5” setup (171 mm travel), the geometry is preserved. There’s a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle plus 170 mm fork to deal with downhill trail chaos. Our AGILOMETER sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, all with long-travel dropper posts. WIRE PORT cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package, while carbon frames offer on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
