Taking the proven performance of our Ponderosa platform and offering it as a 29er just made sense to us—we're sure it will to you as well.
- New Kinesis K6 aluminum frame is double butted for a significant savings in weight without a reduction in strength
- Double-butting also improves ride quality and comfort by reducing high-frequency vibrations traveling up the frame
- Hydoformed, gusseted downtube is lightweight yet strong, providing critical vertical strength at headset and horizontal strength at bottom bracket
- RockShox Dart 3 fork meets changing needs; run it plush (100mm travel) to buffer unyielding single track or lock it down for a stiff, efficient ride
- SRAM drivetrain is all performance, featuring the snappy X-7 shifters, front and rear derailleurs
- Two-piece Truvativ Firex 3.1 crankset is strong, lightweight and easily maintained
- Twenty-seven speeds let you handle any terrain as you want, whether you're romping hills, cruising easy or speeding across the flats
- Avid BB7 disc brakes and FR-5 levers provide sure stopping power and controlled deceleration no matter the terrain or weather conditions
- Lightweight WTB SpeedDisc rims feature I-beam double-wall construction for strength and durability; WTB Prowler tires provide tenacious traction
- Truvativ Stylo SL handlebar and XR stem provide excellent steering control and comfortable positioning for off-road terrain
- Anatomically designed, the lightweight WTB Pure V Race saddle offers exceptional comfort and support from a streamlined platform
- Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—alloy platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes
- Specs are subject to change
After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
