Romp it downhill at Whistler or rip it over a tight single track. With the rugged, smart Novara® Method 2.0 you rule any terrain.

Features

  • Method 2.0 comes ready to rock: Oversized AN6 tubing, Harmony 6.0 full suspension, Avid Juicy hydraulic brakes—high-end performance all the way
  • And there's so much more, from muscle-bound rims to a performance SRAM shifting system that's second to none
  • 4-Bar rear end harmonizes everything you want in full-suspension design to maximize traction, pedaling efficiency, control and comfort
  • Oversize cartridge bearings at every pivot point withstand twisting forces of aggressive trail use and improve aft stiffness for more precise steering
  • Plus, the low-friction pivot points transfer the hard jolts of the trail into the rear shock instead of the frame and up the rider's spine
  • Redesigned for 2007, the Harmony platform lets you increase maximum rear travel from 4.5 to 6 inches to suite your cross-country or downhill needs
  • Simply rebolt the rear shock—it's the premium RockShox Pearl 3.1—to one of two mounting points on the rocker bar and you're good to
  • Stiffness built throughout the stays, drop outs, main pivot yoke and bottom bracket shell provides blistering acceleration and total climbing power
  • Overbuilt and lightweight, RockShox Pike fork provides 95mm - 140mm; leave it on the high side to handle the roughest landings
  • Or adjust it down to lower the front end and enliven steering; U-Turn capability lets you dial in travel to either end or any point in between
  • Motion Control in both shocks knows when to flow and when to lock, absorbing bumps without loss of pedaling efficiency; tunable to user's satisfaction
  • Method's downtube is a beefy 2mm thick, oversized and double-gusseted to withstand stresses exerted when launching, landing and carving turns
  • Lightweight, high-strenth Syncros DS rims and Factory hubs and super-sticky Kendra tires provide unsurpassed traction, control and durability
  • Burly 20mm Maxel front skewer, with quick release, withstands the stresses of 140mm travel; 10mm rear skewer increases stiffness of Harmony rear end
  • Avid Juicy hydraulic brakes are nothing if not total downhill stopping power; 7-inch rotors enhance braking efficiency and heat dissipation
  • Brake pad contact adjusters let you set braking initiation where you like; they're mounted on the brake levers for setting quickly on the fly
  • High-end SRAM shifters and derailleurs provide superb responsiveness, so the gear you gotta have is never more than a thought away
  • SRAM nine-cog cassette with its stiff alloy three-arm spider and Truvativ triple chainring crankset combine for 27 speeds
  • Details make all the difference—the Wipperman 909 chain features the Connex link for easy shop maintenance and fast field repairs
  • And its brass color looks stunning against the Method 2.0's understated matte black finish
  • For all its advanced features and heavy-duty components, at approximately 32.5 lbs., the Method 2.0 is featherlight for its class
  • Pedals not included
  • NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
