140MM FRONT SUSPENSION

The RockShox Psylo Silver RC forks are great at soaking up the bumps on your ride, tackling rougher trails with ease whilst keeping your ride home on roads and concrete smooth as silk.

TRAIL FOCUSED GEOMETRY

The Big.Trail 500s progressive geometry provides improved handling on steep and challenging terrain. An extended reach gives extra stability while an increased stack allows the front wheel to be easily popped while not making the bike feel too stretched. The short, straight seat tube allows for a low standover height whilst still providing maximum insertion depth for long travel dropper posts, giving riders more freedom to move.

WIRE PORT HEADSET

Featuring a new 2-piece top-cap configuration, the Wire Port headset keeps cables out of harms way, eliminates cable rattling and keeps the Big.Trails cockpit clean and uncluttered. For added tidiness and protection the gear cable also runs through the chainstays.
