May 2023 · Sarah Bedford

A well-made and balanced hardtail that’ll inspire your playful side and progress your trail riding

Highs
  • Well-proportioned geometry

  • Comfortable ride

  • Decent-spec fork

  • Efficient brakes and drivetrain

Lows
  • 27.5in wheels (on the small frame) not as smooth-rolling as 29in equivalents

  • Coil-sprung fork harder to tune than air-sprung alternative
