Overview
About this bike
Achieve mountain biking nirvana on Ellsworth's Enlightenment 27.5. This 1,182 gram carbon frame is rugged enough to blow through technical singletrack and is brutally efficient when you're climbing. The wide PF92 bottom bracket and stiff thru-axles ensure superb power transfer, while the tapered Fox fork soaks up the rough stuff and offers precision steering. Shimano's SLX drivetrain provides smooth shifts and powerful braking, while Stan's 27.5-inch Arch EX wheels are wide, light, and strong to withstand all the trail blazing you can muster.
