The new ONE-SIXTY is more than just a progression of the old; it is an entirely new beginning and the most uncompromising, adjustable, and flat-out fun long travel bike we have ever created. For some, a ‘ground-up redesign’ might mean a tweak of the angles, a push to the latest wheelsize and the odd new feature thrown in, but when it comes to the new ONE-SIXTY, we’ve looked at the fundamental shifts in the terrain that enduro riders and racers expect to tackle - and started from there instead. The result is the most uncompromising, adjustable, and flat-out long travel bike we have ever created. Yeah, it’s pretty good fun too. When you’re pushing harder and riding faster than ever before, compromise is the last thing you want to have at the back of your mind, which is why we've radically overhauled our sizing system, suspension kinematics and much more, so you don't need to compromise on any aspect of fit or function. You're the best person to choose what works for you - and the new ONE-SIXTY lets you do just that. It's the untamed evolution of the enduro bike.

No aspect has been left untouched; we’ve changed both the geometry and our sizing system to allow you to pick the perfect fit and handling without compromise, we’ve increased travel with an all-new suspension platform that delivers superb performance regardless of shock type or rear wheel size, and we’ve done all that with carbon or aluminium frames that are designed to be tough and easy to maintain. It’s the untamed evolution of the ONE-SIXTY.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE AND WHY?

The new ONE-SIXTY is a hardcore, long-travel enduro bike. It needs to be able to eat rough and steep trails, big mountains and bike parks for breakfast and it does just that, with  170 mm front travel and 162 mm (in full 29”) or 171 mm (in 29"/27.5") rear wheel travel thanks to our new FAST kinematic suspension.

However, it's catering for the diverging demands of modern mountain bikers that's tricky. If you want outright speed, a longer reach for improved stability might be best, but if you measure success by smiles rather than the stopwatch, you might value agility far more. Full 29” wheels are great on the racetrack or rugged trails but if you came to party or need the clearance, then a mixed setup might be best. While you can select these attributes by sizing your frame up or down, there is always a compromise. Size up for stability and you’ll be left with a long seat tube and dropper post with too much travel, plus a handlebar that's too high. Same goes for switching wheel sizes - move from one to the other and your bike’s geometry will be compromised. 

The new ONE-SIXTY removes the need to compromise. The performance you want, married to the perfect fit, with all the features you’ll ever need.

FAST KINEMATIC

Our all-new Flexstay-Adjustable-Size-Tuned suspension kinematic does what it says on the tin - it’s FAST. The flexstay means we get rid of a pivot point for less maintenance and lower weight, it’s adjustable to work with full 29” wheels or a mixed ‘mullet’ setup without altering the geometry, and it’s size-tuned to deliver more wheel rate progression as you move up the frame lengths, allowing smaller, lighter riders to access all their travel while giving heavier or harder riders the support they need.

FLEXSTAY DESIGN

Using a flexstay design means a back end that’s stiffer in all the right places, plus fewer bearings and less maintenance. That’s on both our carbon and aluminium frames - and before you freak out about bending metal, it’s engineered to have minimal movement, so it’s no big deal. The frame warranty covers five years of extreme Category 5 use - yep, even bike park laps every day.

WHEEL SIZE ADJUSTABLE

Whether you run full 29” or mixed wheels, it doesn’t matter as the geometry is kept exactly the same, though we give the little wheels a little helping hand by bumping up the rear travel to 171 mm from 162 mm. Choose the big wheels all around for pure smooth rolling efficiency, or choose a smaller rear wheel for a more playful feel and extra bum clearance. Oh, and we now run a full 170 mm of travel at the front too, because that’s what modern tracks demand.

SIZE-TUNED SUSPENSION KINEMATIC

We feel the pain of smaller riders that can never access the last bit of travel - we also know what it’s like for the hard and heavy riders that see the bottom-out bumper way more than is healthy. That’s why our size-tuned suspension kinematic delivers more progression as you size up, so heavier or harder hooners can keep sending it further, but everyone else can actually use the travel they’ve brought to the party.
