Race friends or foes (or yourself) on this light XC rig. But don't be deceived by its long and low appearance. It's fast on tricky climbs and totally transcendent on descents. JS Tuned suspension delivers a smooth and bob-free climbing experience while keeping things buttery through mixed terrain. Like you'd expect from a race-ready XC rig, the 29er wheels are paired with finely tuned geometry. Fast rolling and stable, it's prepped with 100mm of travel in the front and rear, striking a beautiful balance of pedalling efficiency, versatility and top-end performance. With Fox top-of-the-line Factory fork and shocks, industry-leading DT Swiss wheels, and a gram-shaving carbon crank, the Sniper XC Pro commits to years of next-level riding.
