Updated suspension: A new Maestro rear suspension
system gives trail riders 140mm of rear travel. The trunnion mount shock
and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke
that has a smooth, active feel, plus greater stiffness in the chassis
for precision control. The rear suspension is paired with a 150mm travel
fork, providing superior confidence and control on technical
singletrack.
Adjustable trail geometry: A three-position Maestro
flip chip lets riders dial in frame geometry for their riding style and
terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance, a good option for
tight, technical terrain. In the low setting, the head tube gets slacker
and the bottom bracket drops, ideal for confident handling at higher
speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition, a new headset flip
chip adjusts reach so that riders can easily achieve their preferred
positioning.
Rear wheel options: All models come with 29-inch front
and rear wheels, but the flip chip lets you opt for a mixed wheel setup
including a 27.5 rear. The stock 29-inch rear wheel optimizes stability
and roll-over capabilities, while a 27.5 delivers a more agile, snappier
feel and more saddle-to-tire clearance in the rear. Some riders favor
this “mullet” setup for riding steep, technical terrain.
