Why you'll love it
The Remedy 9.8 ploughs through the gnarly stuff, but still likes getting loose on jumps and berms
'Wait for me', said no Remedy rider ever – This bike has a lot of travel, but it's also extremely quick on the flats and climbs
RE:aktiv with Thru Shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better and keeps you in control
It has all the latest tech that adds up to a great ride, like carbon wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub, Mino Link adjustable geometry and Boost148/110 hub spacing
