Big days out in big country demand a bike that’s up to the task. Borrowing technology we developed partly out of experience born from racing mountain bikes on some of the planet’s most challenging trails, the Sting WS 140 HPC Race doesn’t hold back in helping you get the best out of your trail riding. The carbon main frame is available in sizes right down to 13.5 inch, which means every rider should be able to find her perfect fit. The tapered head tube and refined geometry are designed to cater specifically for a 150mm fork and, like all our frames, it’s flown through the torture-testing processes of our own in-house, 24/7 test lab. The easily adjustable Fox 34 Rhythm fork and Fox Float DPS EVOL shock work in tandem to smooth your way down even the gnarliest trail, while grippy Schwalbe tyres and powerful Magura MT Trail hydraulic disc brakes give you the bite and control you need to keep your speed in check. We selected a light, strong and stiff Fulcrum wheelset, and Shimano’s superb and wide-ranging 1×12 transmission puts an absolutely enormous range of gears right by your right thumb. Yes, it really is that easy. Put it all together and the Sting WS 140 HPC Race is every woman’s ticket to longer, more adventurous rides – whether you’re tackling steep switchbacks or a fast, rolling singletrack descent. Sounds fun, right?
