Spoke Magazine

That sexy one-piece rocker will definitely feature on the production bike and that direct mount SRAM front mech, well you saw it here first, it's got 17mm of up and down movement so you can run two or three rings. Photo Simeon Patience

When Spoke visited Auckland last week we got a chance to test ride a new 5″ travel trail bike that will be hitting New Zealand trails in the the not too distant future. We also snuck one of the few early production prototypes into our studio to snap a few photos to give you a bit of a teaser on what this bike may look like. I can tell you that this thing is worth writing home about, out on Riverhead’s trails on Saturday it ate it all up, the climbs, the roots and the drops (I can’t say the same for the rider though). We will be bringing you more information and a full feature in our September issue.

Yes that's a 1.5 head tube and yes those are some nice curved top tubes with a tonne of standover clearance and bottle cage mounts... Yay. Photo Simeon Patience
