Overview
About this bike
Grip it and rip it with Opus's Nelson 1. This freeride monster pins it with 178mm of rear travel. Square hits, big gaps, lots of chunder and high speed are no match for the floating Fox Vanilla RC rear shock. The swingarm pivots on large diameter bearings that are longer lasting, smoother running and give you a stiff, quick-tracking rear end. Charging into battle is a 180mm Fox Vanilla with a huge 1.5-inch steerer for precision and front-end stiffness. The specs are Whistler ready with fat Mavic rims with Maxxis Minions that hook up in everything from BC to Ontario. Powering all this gear is a 9-speed SRAM X9 drivetrain with Holzfeller cranks and an e.13 chainguide. Pick your your line and stick to it, if you need to scrub some speed, Avid Code brakes have your back.
