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. *on select models

New geometry is optimised for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size and model. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size and model. All models have clearance for high-volume tyres (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

All-new ALUXX aluminium frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
