Very progressive geometry and kinematics, this bike simply blows everyone away after the first minutes they get on it. The Define features unique semi-internal cable routing - a solution that is elegant and easy to service. The geometry is adjustable via offset headset cups that change the reach and top tube length, and via the shock mount which allows the bottom bracket to be raised or lowered. Big sealed pivots keep it stable and guarantee long periods of smooth, service free function. There are a few things that we borrowed directly from the Snabb - and that is the kinematics of the 4-bar suspension that everyone loves (Pinkbike: "There is so little pedal-induced bobbing at play here that it sort of boggles the mind”). The most modern Enduro and Trail bikes on the market is available with carbon or alloy frames.
One of our favorite versions of the carbon Define is now available in metal - but for sure it's not heavy-metal! We have sweated every detail of this high-end alloy frame to make it as light and as sexy as possible. Some of the unique features include adjustable BB height and semi-integrated cable guides - a practical and elegant solution of the internal / external cable routing dilemma. Don't be fooled by the “shortness” of it's travel. It really feels like it has much more than the quoted numbers. At the same time, the climbing capability of this bike is absolutely amazing.
