Full-Suspension

Reliable, affordable, and capable of nearly erasing roots and rocks. We love hardtails, but there's no denying the benefits of full-suspension mountain bikes—the added comfort and control. Unfortunately, dualies often add another thing: more dollar signs to the price tag. That's not the case here. The Atroz utilizes sealed cartridge bearings in an understated single-pivot design to deliver smooth, durable performance. The Atroz 2 ups the ante with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, Suntour air-sprung rear suspension and an easy-to-operate single-ring drivetrain—features you usually find on bikes with a whole lot more dollar signs on their price tags.

A durable design and the latest innovations, all in a single package. With the Atroz 3, we took the proven and refined single-pivot full-suspension design and upped the ante in a big way. It's a full RockShox affair when it comes to suspension, including the five-inch-travel Recon RL air-sprung fork with 32mm stanchions and a thru-axle. Likewise, we outfitted this model with SRAM's SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain—all the simplicity and durability of a single-ring drivetrain, with the low gearing you once needed a front derailleur to obtain. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power, and we finished the bike off with a Race Face Chester bar and stem combo.

"Adventure bikes" are often plodding beasts of burden that sacrifice thrills in the pursuit of extra stability. Well, where's the adventure in that? We went a different route entirely. By adding 2.8-inch-wide, plus-size tires to our Level Link suspension, we've created a bike that absolutely rips on tight trails, but does so with the extra grip and control of a plus-size bike. Voilà—adventure made awesome. We gave the Catch a slack-but-not-too-slack front end. We wanted control on fast descents, but we weren't willing to give up maneuverability on tight trails. A SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain gives you the gearing to tackle any terrain, and TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes bring this machine to a tidy stop. If you're looking to tackle rough terrain and want the ultimate in control without sacrificing the thrill of riding, the Catch is your bike.

The Release 29 1 is a big-wheeled ripper made for long days and big lines. This aluminum 29er is built on the same 130mm-travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings. We've adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude of all our Level Link bikes. An SR Suntour Aion suspension fork and a Suntour Edge R rear shock soak up the rough stuff, while SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain components keep you cranking. Our Blanchard wheelset is tubeless compatible and comes with 2.3-inch-wide WTB Vigilante Comp tires for unwavering traction. When it's time to slow down, TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes keep you on your line all the way down the mountain.

Built for tackling tough climbs that lead into fast, steep, technical descents. The Release 4C features the same bottomless-feeling rear suspension and deft handling as our aluminum Release models, but with an even lighter, stiffer chassis built from carbon fiber. It starts with our Level Link suspension system, which isolates chain forces from trail inputs, meaning the suspension doesn't bob when you stomp on the pedals, yet becomes extremely plush on technical descents. For smooth bump-eating performance, the Release 4C is equipped with a Fox Float DPS EVOL LV rear shock and a 150mm travel Fox 36 Performance Float fork. SRAM's NX Eagle 12-speed single-ring drivetrain provides consistent shifting and, thanks to its 50-tooth granny gear, makes short work of pesky climbs. SRAM G2 R brakes keep you slicing through the most technical lines all day long.
