A premium 29er, and in fact, one of the finest 29ers available anywhere in the world. Detailed and engineered for XC excellence, the Primer's hyperlight carbon frame and top-tier Pro Build components deliver a ride that's competent, flickable and fully race-ready. At its heart lies the innovative i-BOX Pivot system for climbing efficiency and trail management. Buttery RockShox Pike RCT3 fork and Monarch RT3 rear shock both feature multiple travel positions for a dialed ride on any terrain. To top it off, this gorgeous trail weapon features an SRAM 1x12 Eagle set up (yes, you read that right, 1x12) a hyperlight groupset with consistently beautiful shifting, and solid SRAM Level TLM brakes to keep this rocket under control.
