Samenvatting
The Privateer 161 is a highly capable enduro bike praised for its predictable suspension, excellent traction, and impact handling. It offers a balanced ride with dialed geometry and practical features for maintenance. Despite its weight and some mechanical noises, it excels in technical terrain and climbing efficiency.
Predictable and intuitive suspension feel
Great traction and impact handling
Dialed geometry gives a balanced ride
Practical do-it-yourself mechanic features
Excellent for big sends and gnarly terrain
Significant price increase from the previous version

No UDH hanger
It’s so easy to just ride this bike down things, over things, through things.
BIKE MagazineThe 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.
Bike PerfectHow does an 18.2 kg bike climb? Not nearly as bad as you might think.Pinkbike

The new Privateer 161 builds on rider feedback with updated suspension, versatile geometry, and a durable build for enduro racing and bike park laps.

We tested the Privateer 161 Gen 2 for you – and didn’t just hammer it down the trails of Finale Ligure. Want to know how it performs on the trail?
Easy maintenance thanks to the external cable routing and oversized industrial bearings
Impressive downhill potential with plenty of reserves
Inspires tons of confidence on the trail
Heavy overall weight
Not UDH-compatible
Spec doesn’t quite match the bike’s aggressive character

Composed traction-rich suspension

Privateer’s new enduro bike puts function over fashion, and feels practical and purposeful.
feb 2024 · Seb Stott
Another party trick is that it's compatible with dual crown forks up to 200 mm travel, and rear travel can be extended to 175 mm with a longer-stroke shock. .
jan 2023 · Robert Johnston
The Privateer 161 still ranks highly in the enduro scene thanks to its purposeful suspension kinematics and nicely balanced geometry.
Great value
Balanced geometry
Suspension performance
Not quite as nicely finished as some
Seat tube angle may be too steep

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).
