Let’s be honest, most MTB routes and races are not very technical and can easily tackled with a rigid bike without the extra weight of front and rear suspension.
The rigid carbon fork has very good damping characteristics and with a 2.4” wide front tyre you don’t even miss the suspension.
Yes, you need to pay a little more attention on rocky downhills but you will make up for that with a feather weight bike on the climbs.
The bike weighs 8000 grams! With the narrower 2.2” low rolling resistance rear tyre this bike is flying on gravel and district roads.
The flat handlebar makes it legal to enter MTB races.
