HIGH MODULUS CARBON

Coming in at 1717g, Superior’s lightweight, high-modulus carbon frame is one the lightest on the market. Built for maximum speed and stiffness and is just as at home on all-day rides as racing around your local XC trails. It also features internal cabling plus downtube and chainstay protectors.

DT SWISS F232 ONE FORK

The F232 ONE is engineered to meet the demands of intense modern-day XC courses. Featuring an XC-optimized linear spring, three-position damping with remote, and weighs a paltry 1480g.

SHIMANO XTR 12-SPEED

The Shimano XTR 12-Speed drivetrain has a 10-51T cassette and 34T chainring. It also features Shadow RD+ tech, an in-built clutch, and XTR 2 Piston hydraulic disc brakes with Ice Tech and One Way Bleeding technologies.

DT SWISS R 232 ONE SHOCK

The R232 ONE allows you to float over rock gardens and offers enough end progression to forget the B lines on race courses. The three-position adjustment of damping offers the perfect compression level for every situation.

DT SWISS XRC 1501 WHEELS

The XRC 1501 SPLINE ONE wheelset leaves nothing to be desired. The light 30mm I.D. wide carbon rims offer ideal support for modern XC racing. They roll on super durable 240 hubs and a ratchet (36) freehub system.

Assembly

Your bike needs minor assembly before riding; use the tools and videos included.

As a guide, it'll take 10-40min depending on whether you're an experienced bike assembler or have little to no mechanical experience.

Side Note: Your cables will stretch during the initial bed-in period and must be adjusted by an experienced mechanic around 150km of riding.
