Overview
About this bike
Steep, technical trails will cower before you on Ellsworth's Enlightenment. This feathery carbon hardtail's tapered head tube and and thru-axles provide nimble responsive handling, while the beefy PF92 bottom bracket ensures effortless power transfer. Your daily worries drop as easily as the 1 x 11 Shimano XTR drivetrain drops through the wide-range cassette, and the hydraulic brakes make for smooth speed control. Stan's 27.5-inch rims are wide, sturdy, lightweight, and nimble, and Maxxis' Ardent tires give you impressive traction on a range of surfaces. A stem, seatpost, and handlebar from Thomson, and a supportive saddle from WTB complete this trail champ.
