- The i-Drive system also smoothes out pedaling on rough trails and minimizes suspension-induced feedback
- RockShox Recon 335 suspension fork boasts 120mm of travel with rebound adjustment; alloy steerer provides significant weight savings
- Rear Fox Float R air shock with rebound adjustment nearly levitates rear end over rugged terrain and soaks up big drops
- Drivetrain is powered by the new Shimano SLX crankset; SLX derailleurs and shifters guide you nimbly through the 27 gear combinations
- Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes ensure simple, effective management of your speed as well as outright stopping power
- WTB Speed Disc XC rims are laced up with DT Swiss spokes to Deore hubs for superbly smooth spinning; Kenda Nevegal tires ensure traction
