| Features | • We’ve built a bike that can climb as well as it descends. The
dw-link’s® position-sensitive anti-squat characteristics make for
exceptional climbing and snappy acceleration. • Relaxed 67° head angle, and low bottom bracket height, make for excellent cornering and great stability and increased rider confidence on the trail and on the race course. • 6.6” (167mm) rear travel and 160mm to 180mm fork compatibility (170mm standard). • Rearward wheel travel path for incredible square edge bump performance and unparalleled pedaling performance. • New Fox RP23 Kashima shock with custom tuned rebound and Propedal settings for increased rider tunability and incredible small bump sensitivity. • Full 1.5” headtube accepts the CaneCreek Angleset, allowing the rider to further tune the handling. Several Firebird options now come with the Angle set as part of the stock build. • The Firebird (like many bikes in our line) is all about versatility; allowing riders to do everything from 24 hour endurance races, to park/gravity riding, Super D and the occasional DH race but its real home is aggressive trails where the ride up is just as technical as the ride down. |
