        Lead with Lefty
        The best hardtail deserves the best fork. With its unique, single-sided design, the ultralight Lefty Ocho Carbon offers 110mm of the smoothest, most precise-handling front suspension out there – because better control equals more speed.

        Confidence on edge

        No hesitant, fistful-of-brakes descending here. The slack, 66.5° front end gives you the stability and control you need to really open it up on the downhills. Brake later. Corner harder. Pass on the descents.

        Drop the chatter
        Sculpted flex zones in the chainstays partner with dropped seatstays to eat up the chatter from rowdy terrain, boosting control, smoothing the ride, minimizing fatigue. Go harder. Go faster. Go farther.
