Overview
About this bike
Adventure starts here. Big-time performance and all the latest mtb tech, purpose-built and perfectly sized for young riders. The all-new XtC Jr. 26+ is built on a lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame with a low stand-over height and geometry designed for smaller bodies.

It also features a lightweight, easy-to-use 1x9 drivetrain, powerful disc brakes, and youth-sized components for added comfort and control. - Durable ALUXX-grade butted aluminum frame - Lightweight alloy fork - Shimano 9-speed shifting with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes - Wide 26x2.8” tires mounted on lightweight double wall alloy rims
