With a lighter frame, more nimble geometry, and premium frame finish, the Kato X 6 27.5 is a step up from the standard Kato hardtail line, perfect if you're looking to upgrade from your first bike.
- Hydroformed aluminum frame is stiff and strong; slack head tube angle allows good control on descents; steep seat tube angle creates an efficient riding position for climbs
- 27.5-in. wheels offer an optimal mix of control, speed and maneuverability
- Rock Shox Reba RL, Solo Air fork features 120mm of travel to smooth uneven terrain, and QR 15 axel for stiffness and guaranteed wheel alignment
- Shimano Deore double crankset is paired with a 10-speed, 11-36t cassette for a wide gear range capable of the steepest climbs and descents
- Shimano Deore SL shifters and Deore XT plus rear derailleur work together to transition quickly and smoothly through the gear range
- Shimano Deore XT Plus rear derailleur reduces chain slap and increases shifting accuracy over the roughest of terrain
- Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and 180mm rotors provide powerful one-finger braking and exceptional modulation
- Schwalbe Rocket Ron 27.5 x 2.25 tires excel in the toughest of trail conditions, including mud, hard-packed, rocky and loamy environments
