Product Details

Nimble is as nimble does, and the S-Works Fate takes it to a whole new level. Light and lively as a cat on a hot tin roof, the Fate marries her playful attitude with groundbreaking performance that turns heads and leaves everyone eating her expertly delivered trail dust. As our lightest women’s hardtail, the S-Works Fate is a clear choice for pure efficiency and performance—whether racing XC or shredding local trails—and responds enthusiastically to your every whim. Equipped with the sport’s most cutting edge components, the S-Works Fate stands alone with an 80mm-travel RockShox RS-1 Brain fork, and the super-lightweight and World-Championship-winning carbon Roval Control SL wheelset. No doubt about it—Fate is calling your name.

Born to race, the extremely lightweight RockShox RS-1 Brain fork is easily tunable and stiff and reactive, delivering 80mm of plush travel over bumps, roots, and rocks. The Fate goes up fast and comes down smooth.
The Fate’s responsive FACT 11m carbon frame is stiff, ultra-lightweight, and delivers an efficient, nimble-handling ride. Built with internal cable routing, the frame uses Women’s Competitive XC Geometry and provides great fit and control.
Scrub your speed effortlessly or stop on a dime with reliable, Shimano XTR, hydraulic disc brakes.
