Product Overview
DIAL IN THE FRAME GEOMETRY FOR YOUR RIDING STYLE AND TERRAIN, THEN LET IT RIP. THIS NEW SHAPESHIFTER ENDURO BIKE DELIVERS CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL ON THE ROWDIEST TERRAIN. ITS MIXED WHEEL SIZE, 29-INCH FRONT AND 27.5 REAR, BLENDS STABILITY AND SPEED WITH AGILITY THAT POPS.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Race-bred suspension
The Maestro rear suspension eats up enduro terrain with 165mm of smooth, active rear travel matched with a 190mm travel fork. The trunnion mount rear shock has a longer stroke (65mm over 60mm on the previous generation) while the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall frame weight.
Adjustable enduro geometry
New flip chip feature lets you adjust frame geometry depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.1 or 63.5-degree head angle and corresponding 77.9 or 78.3-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 25 or 19mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for varying trail conditions and riding style.
Mixed wheel size
A 29-inch front wheel provides speed, stability and front-end control on rough, technical trails. A 27.5-inch rear wheel adds agility and maneuverability to help riders rail corners, pop over features and show off their style.
HIGHLIGHTS
This gravity-focused enduro machine features a lightweight, stiff and super-strong ALUXX SL frameset paired with our latest Maestro rear suspension. The frameset is optimized for its mixed wheel setup, with a 27.5-inch rear and 29-inch front. A plush suspension system with 165mm in the rear and a 190mm triple crown fork up front gives you the ability to send it on the roughest descents. You can also adjust frame geometry with a flip chip that lets you switch the head tube and seat tube angles, along with bottom bracket drop, to dial in the handling for your riding style and terrain. And a new integrated down tube storage feature provides convenient carrying capacity for on-trail essentials.
