We love hardtails, but there’s no denying the benefits of full-suspension mountain bikes — the added comfort and control. Unfortunately, dualies often add another thing: more dollar signs to the price tag. That’s not the case here. The Atroz utilizes sealed cartridge bearings in an understated single-pivot design to deliver smooth, durable performance. The Atroz 2 ups the ante with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, Suntour air-sprung rear suspension and an easy-to-operate single-ring drivetrain — features you usually find on bikes with a whole lot more dollar signs on their price tags. -
With the Atroz 3, we took the proven and refined single-pivot full-suspension design and upped the ante in a big way. It’s a full RockShox affair when it comes to suspension, including the five-inch travel Recon RL air-sprung fork with 32mm stanchions and a quick release thru-axle. Likewise, we outfitted this model with SRAM’s SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain — all the simplicity and durability of a single-ring drivetrain, with the low gearing you once needed a front derailleur to obtain. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power, and we finished the bike off with a Race Face Chester bar and stem combo. -
The Mason 2 is a hardtail that can be ridden aggressively on the kind of trails you might have thought require a full-suspension bike. This trail bike is a fun-loving brawler, yet it practically floats over the rough stuff thanks to its ultra-wide, plus-size 27.5″×2.8-inch tires. We hung all manner of rowdy-ready parts on its rugged aluminum frame. The Mason 2 comes equipped with a RockShox Judy Gold RL 120mm travel fork. A SRAM NX 1×11-speed drivetrain paired with Race Face cranks keeps you motoring uphill and down. Stay on your line thanks to the SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes. The Mason 2 is ready to rumble. -
The Release 29 1 is a big-wheeled ripper made for long days and big lines. This aluminum 29er is built on the same 130mm travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings. We’ve adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude of all our Level Link bikes. An SR Suntour Aion suspension fork and a Suntour Edge R rear shock soak up the rough stuff, while Sram SX Eagle drivetrain components keep you cranking. Our Blanchard wheelset is tubeless compatible and comes with 2.3-inch wide WTB Vigilante Comp tires for unwavering traction. When it’s time to slow down, TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes keep you on your line all the way down the mountain. -
The Release 29 2 is the lankier sibling of the Release and Catch full-suspension mountain bikes. Designed for high-mileage days with a high shred factor, this aluminum trail ripper is built on the same 130mm travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings. We’ve adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude that our Level Link bikes have become known for. The Fox Float DPS Performance shock is outfitted with an EVOL LV air sleeve for excellent responsiveness and a bottomless feel to soak up the worst on steep, technical terrain. A 140mm travel Fox Rhythm 34 fork, Shimano SLX drivetrain, and hydraulic stoppers let you stay focused, no matter what the trail dishes out.
