• Lightweight trail bike with 135mm travel, handmade from carbon-fibre and space-age Vectran, in Krakow, Poland
• Smart FDS suspension design uses a unique rear-mounted shock, driven by a rocker link and optimised for coil shocks
• Carbon shock mudguard, titanium or alloy bolts, integrated seatpost clamp and internal cable routing
• Super-supportive and progressive ride feel, twinned with lightweight frame, wheels and components
