Overview
About this bike
The Optic C3 is an aggressive short-travel sled that rips on descents and can get back to the top without a gondola. The Optic C3 sharpens your view on high speed trails. The precision suspension kinematics and custom DH spec shock creates 125mm of rear travel, matched with a gravity-eating 140mm fork for the control you need to keep your mind on the trail ahead. Reasons It's Rad: - Fast never felt this fun. - Designed to work so you can play. - Components selected with speed on the brain. - Matching each Optic to the human who rides it.
