Trail riding is all about going further, faster than ever before. The all-new One Forty 500 positively encourages you to do that thanks to an all-aluminium frame with radical new trail geometry that's equally happy cleaning the toughest climbs as it is ripping down high-mountain trails. Made for the toughest trails in the world, the One Forty 500 is the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80° seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head angle mean it’s still more than capable of ripping any descent. Fitted with a kit that delivers solid performance, the Marzocchi Z2, Air, 150mm travel fork is paired with a Rock Shox Deluxe Select+ shock. A wide range Shimano Deore M5100 1 x 11 speed drivetrain turns your effort into go and four-piston brakes turn the lightest touch into slow. Rounding off the build is a long travel internally routed dropper post.
