Versatile, lightweight, superior-quality mountain bike
This Spur bike is a marvel of engineering. It’s an All-Country ride that stretches the boundaries of what you thought a bicycle could do. The Spur has a unique allure; it’s an invitation to take the road less travelled, to challenge the mountain, to seek the unseen.
Its seamless connection to the rider is a revelation, turning the bike into a virtual extension of your body, enhancing your agility and precision on every trail. This bike almost defies physics, making you feel weightless as it propels you forward with an almost effortless speed. It promises to elevate your climbing skills, allowing you to cover more distance with less effort.
But don't be fooled by its lightness and uphill prowess. The Spur retains the ability to descend like a bike built for downhill thrills, maybe even faster. It's a chameleon, adapting and excelling in whatever environment it finds itself in.
You can have this versatile beast in four stunning colors: Aqua, Raw Carbon, Deep Sea Green, or Black Powder. Available in four sizes, from small to X-Large, the Spur offers a perfect fit for every rider.
Its impressive specs include a carbon frame with 120mm travel, 29″ wheels, and a choice of high-end components like Fox and RockShox suspension systems, SRAM and Shimano drivetrains, and OneUp Dropper Post. Its tyres, Maxxis Dissector 3C EXO for the front and Maxxis Rekon 3C EXO for the rear, are ready to take on any terrain.
The Spur is an embodiment of the innovative SBG (Speed Balanced Geometry), ensuring you a bike that maintains low-speed agility, front wheel traction, and a balanced rider weight distribution. This bike can handle steep terrains and high speeds, and adapts to your speed, offering stability when going fast and agility in technical slow-speed maneuvering.
Equipped with the GiddyUp suspension system, the Spur promises great rear suspension performance, offering excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Its anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and acceleration, but won't impede the suspension when needed.
This bike is a testament to the fact that biking is not just about reaching a destination, it's about the thrill of the journey. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a novice, the Spur promises to make every ride an exhilarating adventure.
