Overview
About this bike
The trail is yours to conquer on Ellsworth's Enlightenment. This carbon hardtail offers brutal efficiency in a feather-light 1,182 gram frame and precision handling thanks to a tapered fork and thru-axles. A 100mm-travel Fox fork floats over rock gardens with ease. Shimano's XTR 2 x 11-speed drivetrain supplies the gearing necessary to take out technical climbs, while their smooth, powerful hydraulic brakes keep you in control no matter how loose the descent gets. Stan's 27.5-inch Arch EX wheels and Maxxis tires provide 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.
