Specs, Comparisons, Reviews, Galleries

A long travel and aggressive 27.5 enduro mountain bike with 170mm front and rear travel. From Santa Cruz: "we chose 27.5 wheels as the go-to for the widest variety of riding styles and rider sizes. When peeling your bike out of the van at a new spot your only question should be “Is this a full face or a half lid kinda ride?” The 64-degree head angle and 77-degree seat angle puts you in the sweet spot when winching up to the top of a big drop in. Meanwhile proportional chainstay lengths mean handling is never compromised, regardless of frame size."
