Overview
About this bike
As riders get better and trails get harder, your bike needs to be able to keep up. Opus's Nelson 3.0 is more than up to the task. The aluminum frame uses a direct-mount front derailleur, a 142x12mm rear end, and a tapered head tube, so it doesn't just survive, it thrives. Its 150mm of travel, 27.5-inch wheels, and 67.5-degree head angle have a huge part in that as well. The ride is stable and confident, whether grinding it out to the top, or pinning downhill. Up or down, the Nelson is equipped with 2x10 SLX shifting and braking that is always spot-on. Suspension is all RockShox, with a Pike up front and a Monarch in the rear. Tunable, plush, dependable and like the rest of this enduro rig, more than able to keep up.
