FEATURES:

A new Maestro rear suspension system with longer travel (160mm) was developed and tested under the extreme conditions of Enduro World Series races. The trunnion-mount shock has a longer stroke (62.5mm compared to 60mm on the previous generation). And the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall weight.
New flip chip technology lets you switch between three settings depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.5, 63.9, or 64.2-degree head angle and corresponding 78.3, 78.7, or 79-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 35, 30, or 25mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for trail conditions, riding style, and rear-wheel size.
Riders can choose either a 29- or 27.5-inch rear wheel, paired with a 29-inch front wheel. The larger 29-inch option improves stability and roll-over capabilities, while the 27.5 option delivers a more agile, snappier feel. It’s a quick and easy change to adjust the bike’s handling and feel.
The option to run a “mullet” setup with a 27.5 rear wheel. This translates into a short chainstay length, a shorter reach, and geometry that can be adjusted via a three-position flip chip.
An updated Maestro suspension system delivers 160mm of rear wheel travel mated to a 170mm fork.
New integrated down tube storage provides convenient carrying capacity for trail riding essentials.
