| Features | Strong and stiff double butted 6066 Aluminium main frame provides a solid platform for IDS performance as well as increasing lateral rigidity for belter control of bicycle in extreme trail use. Rear travel increased to 110mm for optimal trail riding setup with 30-35% sag. This creates a comfortable ride that in combination with the larger wheels and the IDS, enhances the rider’s momentum through large rock garden trails and hard hits. SB Exclusive IDS dual suspension technology. SBC oversized lightweight components used to enforce design concept and bring refined quality to user’s control points. Cable hose guides for derailleur enable continuous sealed shifter housing for extended protection against the elements. Increased BB height with correct suspension setup enables god pedal clearance as well as allowing balanced cornering when descending. Wide low -riser bars increase rider comfort, control and leverage over big wheels in extreme terrain while keeping the setup at a decent height for climbing. Tapered head tube 1 1/8” to 1.5” for increased front end stiffness aids steering accuracy. Steepened head angle in con junction with increased sag on rear suspension setup gives bike a perfect xc/trail setup for balanced handling response and control. Front rotors increased to 180mm for belter braking power and minimal weight gain. Each (price point or model) uses as light a wheel as possible to maximise the 29’er ride experience.
