<p>The Recluse 275 isn't shy about chomping down on steep, gnarly, North Shore-esque terrain. A head tube angle of 66 degrees makes steep, technical descents feel solid and fun. The secret to its eagerness lies in the link system that gives it compact chainstays and a shortened wheelbase. Expect efficient, smooth climbing, confident ripping and subtle arcing through corners. The Foundation Build adds a batch of reliable components to offer up a worry-free bike. SRAM NX shifters and GX rear-derailleur ensure the 1x11 shifting goes smoothly. Shimano M506 brakes keep things under control. And 30mm rims ensure performance when the terrain is weird and unruly.</p><ul><li>Monocoque unidirectional carbon frame is light, strong and sharp looking</li><li>Angular Contact/Collet Bearing System with replaceable Grease Zerks allows for easy maintenance</li><li>i-BOX Pivot System allows for compact seatstays and a shortened wheelbase for a remarkably nimble and efficient ride</li><li>148x12mm spacing at the rear and 110x15mm in the front</li><li>JS Tuned rear linkage result in a very efficient and balanced feel while fighting or enjoying gravity</li><li>Tapered head tube shaves grams and improves stiffness</li><li>Flak guard protects the downtube from rock lift-off</li><li>RockShox Yari RC, 27.5in. with 150mm of travel is tuneable to your taste and lockable for efficient climbing</li><li>RockShox Monarch RL takes care of the 140mm of rear travel</li><li>Internal routing looks clean and keeps cables protected from impacts</li><li>27.5in.

Mechanical disc brakes are more powerful than rim brakes, but less powerful than hydraulic brakes.

The hub affects a bike’s rolling efficiency. Internally geared hubs require significantly less maintenance.

Cassettes with a smaller range allow you to go faster; a bigger range makes climbing hills easier.
