Why This Bike Makes Sense

• For XC racers and fast trail riders who want a light carbon hardtail
• Built around 29-inch wheels that roll over rocks, roots and broken tarmac with less effort
• Suits the dirt and gravel trails around Pune, Sinhagad, Lavasa and the Western Ghats, as well as weekend cross-country rides
• Hardtail design keeps maintenance simpler than a full-suspension bike, which helps during the monsoon
