- 27.5 in. wheels are quicker and lighter than 29ers, but offer the same benefits of large-diameter wheels—more speed and better traction
- Butted 6061-T6 aluminum frame offers a lightweight and agile feel in the saddle with high durability to take the punishment that rough trails can dish out
- SR Suntour XCR-LO suspension fork supplies 100mm of travel for smoothing out rough trails; turnkey lockout offers increased performance on climbs
- Drivetrain features intuitive trigger shifters and responsive derailleurs to offer dependable shifts throughout the 24 gear combinations
- Schwalbe Rapid Rob tires offer good all-around traction on the trail
- Platform pedals don't require bike-specific shoes, making it easy to go from off-road to around town
