Product Details
Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned vet, the Crave 29 will take you to your limit come race day. To make sure of it, we constructed it from M4 Premium Aluminium for its light weight and stiffness, making it perfect for climbs. Meanwhile our XC 29 Geometry ensures a proper power transfer to the rear wheel and plenty of comfort for when the trail gets rough. And when it comes to components, we selected a spec based on durability and strength, which means that the bike comes equipped with a double-ring crankset and a Manitou fork.
A Manitou M30 fork is air sprung and features an XC tune and high-speed damping, making it ideal for race speeds and long distances.

29x2.1" Ground Control (front) and 29x2.0" Fast Trak (rear) tyres provide plenty of traction over a multitude of terrain types, while still remaining one of the fastest tyres for XC racing in our fleet.
M4 Premium Aluminium proved to be the right material for the job, allowing a lightweight, durable frame with our XC 29 Geometry for an efficient power transfer and handling at speed.
