Secondly, a novel headset flip chip fine-tunes reach, enabling effortless attainment of the perfect riding position. Lastly, a rear dropout flip chip allows you to optimize the overall wheelbase and manipulate handling characteristics at will.
Rear Wheel Options
Take control of your ride by selecting either a 29-inch or 27.5-inch rear wheel. Every model is delivered with a stock mixed wheel "mullet" setup, favored by numerous racers for its nimble, responsive feel and enhanced clearance between saddle and tire in the rear. Should you desire the rollover speed and unwavering stability of dual 29-inch wheels, a quick rear wheel swap is all it takes to unlock their full potential.
