Lightweight carbon frame with aluminium chainstay and an agile and playful geometry

Optimal suspension performance in any situation
The F.O.L.D. chassis, which has been specially designed to meet the demands of Enduro riding, provides a perfectly balanced mix: F.O.L.D. is extremely sensitive while being progressive enough to prevent a harsh bottom out.
-
Lightweight, robust and low-maintenance
High-quality bearings, closed triangle chainstay and a damper protected from dirt – we leave nothing to chance. We have also given thought to the bottle holder.
