ROCK ROLLS, SKETCHY DROPS AND STEP-UPS. THIS NEW FULL-COMPOSITE TRAIL MACHINE HANDLES IT ALL WITH CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL. NEW LONGER TRAVEL MAESTRO REAR SUSPENSION (145MM), ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY, AND A MIXED WHEEL SETUP MAKE IT A SINGLETRACK SENSATION.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Updated Suspension
This “SX” series features an all-new Maestro rear suspension system with added travel (145mm) for technical singletrack. The trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke that has a smooth, active feel, plus greater stiffness in the chassis for improved tracking over rough terrain. The rear suspension is paired with a longer travel 160mm suspension fork, giving aggressive trail riders added confidence and control.
Adjustable trail geometry
A three-position Maestro flip chip lets you dial in frame geometry to suit your riding style and terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance, a good option for tight, technical singletrack. The low setting creates a slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket for confident handling at higher speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition, a new headset flip chip provides 10mm of total reach adjustment.
Mixed wheel setup
This model comes with a 27.5-inch rear wheel. The smaller wheel diameter delivers an agile, snappy feel on the trail and more saddle-to-tire clearance in the rear. Riders typically favor this “mullet” setup for riding steep, technical terrain.

| Weight |
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
