BEFORE YOU SAY: “WTF?! IS NS MAKING AN XC BIKE??” - STOP. THIS IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! THE GEOMETRY OF THE SYNONYM IS MILES AWAY FROM ANY SHORT TRAVEL BIKE THAT YOU CAN FIND ON THE MARKET. THANKS TO THE SLACK HEAD ANGLE, MASSIVE REACH AND VERY STEEP SEAT TUBE THIS BIKE DESCENDS LIKE IT WAS ON RAILS, CLIMBS LIKE A GOAT AND CHARGES LIKE A BULL ON THE FLATS. WE DEEPLY BELIEVE THAT SHORT TRAVEL HARDCORE, LIGHTWEIGHT XC / TRAIL BIKES ARE THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE ON TWO WHEELS WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A CHAIRLIFT. THE SYNONYM REALLY IS A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP. EVERYONE WE KNOW WHO HAS TRIED THIS BIKE HAS BEEN SIMPLY BLOWN AWAY. THIS REALLY IS A GAME CHANGER!
