  • With 130mm of rear wheel travel and an adjustable 120 - 150mm of front wheel travel, the RIOT LC 8 is the perfect bike for anyone with a ride-anywhere mentality
  • Ultra-High Modulus full-carbon main frame and High-Modulus full-carbon swing arm are paired with ultralight composite bushings for a ride that's light yet plush

  • Disconnect Brake Mount mounts the rear brake caliper directly to the X12 thru-axle for perfect alignment with the rotor; braking forces go into the axle instead of the frame

  • Schwalbe Nobby Nic 27.5 x 2.35 tires excel in the toughest of trail conditions, including mud, hardpack, rocky and loamy environments
