THIS IS THE BIGGEST BIKE IN THE DEFINE RANGE. IT’S BASICALLY A DOWNHILL BIKE THAT CAN BE RIDDEN UPHILL. MIXING WHEEL SIZES IS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR A BIKE LIKE THIS AND AFTER A LOT OF TESTING AND PROCESSING OPINIONS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION THAT WE TRULY BELIEVE MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR MANY RIDERS. A BIG, FAST-ROLLING 29” WHEEL IN THE FRONT PLOWS THROUGH ROUGH TERRAIN AND A SMALLER 27.5 WHEEL IN THE REAR IS TUCKED IN AND ALLOWS MORE SUSPENSION TRAVEL TO BE APPLIED WITHOUT CONTACTING THE FRAME OR BODY PARTS. LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS STILL A DEFINE - WHICH MEANS IT IS BUILT AROUND A GORGEOUS ALLOY FRAME WITH CUSTOM HYDROFORMED TUBES, HIDDEN EXTERNAL CABLE ROUTING, BIG BEARINGS AND RADICAL GEOMETRY!
