Key Quotes
It’s so easy to just ride this bike down things, over things, through things.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The ease of riding at pace gave me the confidence to attack trails, safe in the knowledge that the 161 Gen 2 would make sense of rock gardens and rutted root sections when riding got hectic.

How does an 18.2 kg bike climb? Not nearly as bad as you might think.

  • Impressive downhill potential with plenty of reserves

  • Inspires tons of confidence on the trail

Points faibles
  • Heavy overall weight

  • Not UDH-compatible

  • Spec doesn’t quite match the bike’s aggressive character

Privateer’s ethos has always been rider-focused, providing an offering that is race-ready and doesn’t break the bank. The 161 is a full race bike designed to be fast, reliable and accessible to all (notwithstanding COVID’s effects on the global supply chain).
