Overview
About this bike
The Age of Enlightenment was a shift from blind faith toward objective thinking and reasoning. in that spirit, you'll be delighted to know that Ellsworth's Enlightenment 29 is an empirically supported choice. This 1,199 gram carbon frame is rugged enough to blow through wicked singletrack and serpentine trail, while staying light enough to fly up climbs. A Fox 32 Float fork offers 100mm of travel that will soak up rocks and roots without slowing you down. Tackle hills with the gearing expertise of the Shimano XT 11-speed drivetrain, and take the descents as hot as you'd like, knowing the Shimano hydraulic brakes have your back. Stan's ZTR Arch EX rims are light, wide, and tough enough to withstand the trails. So get to riding.
