Upgraded for 2021 with the excellent BOX Four 8 groupset, featuring a clutch activated rear mech, and a 1X chainring. This 1 x 8 speed system paired with the 30T ring and 11-34 cassette is the perfect setup to start ripping the trails. Up front the suspension is taken care of by Suntour XCR-DS-LO 65mm travel air suspension fork with lock out - adjustable for rider weight.
Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with a 160mm rotor's offer great stopping power and adjustable reach levers.Vitus wheels featuring Schwalbe Rocket Ron 2.1" tyres, and an all Alumninium finishng kit give the bike a look even parents are envious of.
