Overview
About this bike
Discover the illuminating freedom of the trail on Ellsworth's Enlightenment 27.5. This carbon hardtail will be your window into mountain bike stoke with a feather-light 1,182 gram frame. Enjoy razor-sharp handling thanks to a tapered head tube and front and rear thru-axles, while the beefy PF92 bottom bracket ensures effortless power transfer. Shimano's XT 2 x 11-speed drivetrain supplies the gearing necessary to take out technical climbs, while their smooth, powerful hydraulic brakes make quick work of technical sections. Stan's Arch EX rims and Maxxis tires provide smooth speed and traction on the shakiest of surfaces, while Thomson's stem, handlebar, and seatpost round out the Enlightenment with excellent quality, superb strength, and low weight.
