A lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with horizontal sliding dropouts, a Bontrager Haru rigid carbon fork, a wide-range SRAM GX Eagle drive train with an extra low climbing gear, a dropper post for getting down, and SUNringlé Mulefüt wheels paired with a 108T Rapid Drive hub for instant engagement, and wide, ultra-grippy Bontrager Barbegazi TLR tyres.

Why you'll love it
A lightweight carbon frame and fork mean this bike won't be bogged down by foul weather, deep snow or gnarly terrain
The stability and traction of super wide tyres make you a more confident rider on any trail
Horizontal sliding dropouts lets you fine-tune your geometry – run it long for stability or shorter for nimbler handling
The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
It's a four-season freedom machine that lets you ride outside all-year long
