Fork & Shock: Front suspension handled by a RockShox 35 Gold RL fork (29″, Solo Air, 130 mm travel, lock-out, external rebound) and rear by RockShox Deluxe Select+ RL air shock — a dual-suspension setup that smooths out rough trails while keeping pedaling efficient. Wheels & Tires: Tubeless-ready 29″ setup on Stan’s NoTubes Arch D rims with Shimano SLX hubs, WTB Vigilante 29 x 2.35″ front and WTB Trail Boss 29 x 2.25″ rear tires — giving good rollover, traction, and stability on mixed terrain.
Drivetrain & Gearing: 1×12 Shimano SLX drivetrain with 32T Race Face Ride crank and 10–51T cassette delivers broad gear range — ideal for climbs and comfortable descents alike.
Brakes & Control: Shimano MT401 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm front / 160 mm rear rotors ensure reliable, consistent stopping power even on steeper or technical terrain.
Cockpit & Comfort: Race Face Ride 760 mm handlebar with 50 mm stem gives stable handling. A KS Rage dropper seatpost with remote lets you adjust your saddle height on the fly — great for smooth climbs and confident descents. WTB Volt saddle and Jamis lock-on grips round out a comfortable, trail-ready cockpit.
