What more can we say about this bike? Best in Test winner, price and performance winner, Red Dot Design Award Winner 2010 and nominated for the Design Award of Germany 2011!
As we don’t tend to rest on our laurels, we have turned up the process of the development of our award-winning Big Bike another notch.
Our unique V4L rear construction provides 200 mm travel and manifests a neutral yet responsive behavior. So for 2011, with input from our team rider and World Cup Downhill Racer Erik Irmisch, we have extended the rear shock length from 222 mm to 241 mm. This results in less work for the suspension, less heat development, better response and a longer life span.
Furthermore, the rear section has been completely revised and strengthened, and the steering angle of the freeride model has been flattened to 64° and the Downhill model to 63°. The result: More control at high speeds and yet extremely handy on technical passages and trails!
Equipped with the Totem RC CL (FR version) or the Boxxer R2C2 (DH version) front fork, and the new Descendant Truvativ crank, Avid Code R disc brakes, and a complete SRAM X9 gear shifting system, you will be well prepared for even the hardest of trails!
