Features

Float Link Suspension: The lower shock mount moves with the system to deliver plushness and pedalling efficiency. Our engineers can precisely influence the transmission ratio and progression" which means a ‚òFloat Link‚ system appears to offer more travel than the ONE-SIXTY name suggests. The rear end of the ONE-SIXTY creates the feeling of almost bottomless travel whilst remaining perfectly controlled when climbing.

Trunnion Mount: A trunnion mount shock gives our frame designers more flexibility by using a shorter shock with increased stroke. Combined with the ball bearing bushing of the upper mount" shock sensitivity is increased" and the suspension performance can be perfectly tuned.

Boost Technology: The entire ONE-SIXTY range offers Boost technology at the front and rear. The shallower axle standard of 110 mm (front) and 148 mm (rear) allows for a wider spoke angle" resulting in a stiffer and stronger wheel" hugely beneficial on trail and enduro bikes given the impacts they endure.

Aggressive Geometry: Race-proven and loved by the international cycling press" our ONE-SIXTY combines super short 430 mm chainstays for increased agility and playfulness" with a long reach" slack head angles and a low centre of gravity" delivering an aggressive enduro geometry.
