WTB Trail Boss 27.5 x 2.25, WTB Trail Boss 29 x 2.25

Always wanted to cut through the park on your ride to work? The off-road capable Lynx is happy to help you find new shortcuts, new trails, and explore the roads less travelled. Grippy tires and front suspension mean your ready to hop curbs and rip down rough terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes keep your speed right where you want it. Shimano’s reliable and easy to maintain Essa drivetrain gives you 8 gears to help take the edge off of hills.
Aluminum 6061 alloy frame keeps weight low and strength high.
SR Suntour XCM coil shock has 100 millimetres of travel to smooth out rough trails and less than stellar bike paths, and a lockout to improve efficiency when you don’t need the suspension.
Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding stopping power in all weather conditions
Shimano Essa rear derailleur uses a short cage that keeps it safe on rough terrain and is cross compatible with other 8-speed Shimano components
Shimano Altus Rapid Fire shifter provides quick, crisp shifts, can handle 3-dowshifts in a single long press, and has a gear display.
Shimano Essa 1 by 8 drivetrain with a 32 tooth cog at the cranks and an 11-45T cassette
Frame-fit wheel sizing equips extra small and small bikes with 27.5in. wheels, and medium to extra large bikes with 29in. wheels. Matching the wheel size to the frame size optimizes power delivery and ergonomics.
WTB Trail Boss tires use aggressive, directional lugs that offer low rolling resistance, but dig in under breaking and cornering. These tires excel on loose terrain and packed dirt
Composite double-sided flat pedals with studded surface for good grip
MEC Mountain saddle with chromoly rails
