Highlights

Where the Trail Starts

This is the hardtail for the rider ready to get off the pavement and into the dirt. A redesigned ALUXX aluminum frame that's lighter and tougher gives you a solid, confidence-building platform to grow on.

Smooth Suspension Fork

The SR Suntour fork takes the edge off roots, rocks, and ruts so the front end stays composed. It's the difference between fighting the trail and flowing through it.

Simple 1x Drivetrain

A microSHIFT 8-speed setup with a clutch rear derailleur keeps shifting easy and the chain quiet and secure. One shifter, less to think about, more time riding.

Right-Sized Wheels

Smaller frames roll on nimble 27.5-inch wheels while larger sizes get faster 29-inch wheels, so the bike handles well no matter your height. Both clear high-volume tires up to 2.4 inches for extra grip and comfort.

Thru-Axle Stability

Thru-axle hubs stiffen up the wheels for more precise steering and consistent braking. It's a real trail feature that helps this bike track true when you point it downhill.

Modern Trail Geometry

The updated frame shape puts you in a confident, capable position for real off-road riding. Internal routing even supports a dropper post down the road, so the bike can evolve as your skills do.
