On The Trail
Squamish, BC sits smack dab in the middle of Vancouver's North Shore and the Whistler Bike Park. The area boasts an impressive trail network that features everything from low-speed rock slabs and tight corners to wide-open root smashing and machine built berms. Given the variety the area has to offer, it served as the perfect place to test out this new rig. The bike was also used in the Crankworx Enduro World Series race, just for good measure.
The geometry is adjustable via the Mino Link flip chips in the seatstay, however once I got my hands on the bike I promptly swapped the geometry to the slack, low, and long setting and left it there for the duration of the test. In the "Low" setting the bike has a 67.5-degree head angle, 13.78-inch bottom bracket height, 17.52-inch chainstays, and 68-degree seat tube angle. In this position, I never had issues with the front end wandering on climbs, never struck a pedal, and I sure appreciated the added stability when things pointed downhill
