Next-generation advanced composite mainframe and rear swingarm are 250g lighter than the previous version. The bottom bracket area is stiffer for faster acceleration, and a steeper seat tube puts the rider in an efficient, front-forward climbing position.

All-new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 100mm of smooth, active rear travel. The re-engineered frameset features modern XC geometry including a slacker 67.5-degree headtube and 110mm suspension fork for technical descents.

Frame geometry and suspension are optimised for larger-diameter 29-inch wheels. A longer reach and updated cockpit including a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem further boost balance and stability on XC terrain.
