Ready to roll! This XS is going to fit riders from 5’0” to 5’5” and needs absolutely nothing but a new rider.
Dent and ding free. But a few scrapes and rubs consistent with use are visible on the frame and other components.
Components include:
12sp Shimano XT shifter and derailleur driving a SunRace cassette from a Deore crank.
Stopping is handled by Tektro Gemini SL’s which feel firm and controlled to this day.
The Rock Shox 140mm RL Silver keeps the front wheel on your line admirably.
The stock 27.5+ wheels and tires have been replaced with lighter Alex Volar 27’s laced to Novatec hubs and shod with Vitoria Mezcal 2.1’s setup tubeless. This setup has proven lighter and quicker with slightly more stand over clearance than the stock offering.
WTB Volt saddle rises and falls reliably on a 125mm TransX dropper.
Available for test rides and local pickup in Brunswick, Maine. Willing to pack and ship (lower 48 only) at buyers expense.
