This is the one: a bike that’s as rock-solid dependable descending an Alp at speed as it is agile and sure-footed picking its way up a long climb. How did we do that? Well, there’s the new C:62® carbon frame with a headset with angle adjustment inserts, for a start. Then we chose a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and Super Deluxe Select+ shock for their bump-swallowing prowess. Newmen Evolution wheels, Maxxis tires and Magura MT5 hydraulic disc brakes keep you firmly in control. And Sram’s GX Eagle 1×12 gears give you the range you need to make light work of any mountain route. It’s the complete package.
