We selfishly made the Define 170 for the riding we most enjoy. It is perfect for big jumps and severe terrain, and it is happy on the uphills, too.

Great geometry
Confident feel to the rear suspension
Functional spec that’ll do the job
Niggling issues with some elements of the spec
Not the comfiest ride on really rough descents
