Just announced, the new Priority 600HXT is a rowdy aluminum hardtail mountain bike based around a Pinion gearbox with electronic Smart.Shift technology, lots of mounting points, clearance for 29 x 2.6″ tires, and more. Find more photos and details here…
The first of its kind, the new Priority 600HXT is a hardtail mountain bike equipped with a Pinion gearbox, the all-new electronic Smart.Shift technology, and everything you’d expect from a trail-ready rig designed for big days. The 600HXT is the third model from Priority leveraging the Pinion gearbox platform and the first to be available in the US with Smart.Shift, which combines their mostly maintenance-free gearbox with the advantages of push-button electronic shifting. With Smart.Shift, you can shift while riding, stationary, and under load, changing gears in 0.2 seconds regardless of conditions or drivetrain load.
The Priority 600HXT is based around a 6061 alloy frame, 140mm travel fork, internally routed dropper post, Pinion’s Smart.Shift C1.12 gearbox, and a build kit that has us eager to try one out for ourselves soon. The 600HXT comes in three sizes, all based around a slack 65° head tube angle, long reach, and somewhat long chainstays at 445mm in the stock position. Each size comes equipped with a 180mm travel dropper post, and chunky 29 x 2.6/2.5″ tires.
The frame has triple pack top tube mounts, triple pack down tube mounts, and standard bottle mounts under the downtube. There are rear rack mounts, kickstand mounts, and the frame uses boost hub spacing and sliding rear dropouts. The complete build weighs in at around 34 pounds. See the complete build kit below.
