Fun, fun fun! These three words sum up this addition to the Define range. The bike boasts the beautiful lines of the high-end carbon Define and comes fitted with coil shocks for great small bump sensitivity. We designed the geometry to give the bike a perfectly balanced feel and put it on 27.5” wheels, making it the most playful platform in our range. The Define 160 has semi-integrated cable routing (elegant but easy to access), and adjustable BB height. The new HC3 coil shock from X-Fusion has a 3-position platform, rebound, and low-speed compression adjustments. Note: our suggestion is to size down if “slopeduro” is your thing, or if you want to spend most of your time jibbing and tricking.

ADJUSTABLE BB HEIGHT *

You can raise the BB height by 5mm from the stock settings by using the adjustable shock mount or you can completely transform the bike by changing the shock mount & shock (changes travel from 155 mm to 130 mm or vice versa).

 

* DIFFERENT LENGHTS OF SHOCK MOUNTS AVAILABLE SEPARATELY

OVERSIZED BEARINGS, SEALED MAIN PIVOT

The pivot that is most difficult to replace is hidden inside the frame and remains completely isolated from dirt and water inside the frame.

HYBRID CABLE ROUTING 

The cables appear to be threaded through the downtube and chainstay...

 

 

But actually, they are only hidden in a special channel in the construction. Easy to replace anytime, anywhere!
