The Experts' View

Tech Overview

The Purpose

When we launched the 161, many riders loved the Enduro World Series race-focused concept, but we know not everyone has access to world-class steep and technical alpine trails. We listened, and here it is, the 141.

Built to handle everything from your local trail loop to park laps, or even a local Enduro race or two. Taking our proven platform and stretching out the seated position slightly gives riders more room to enjoy those undulating sections of trail.

The 141 is ready to ease you to the top with its steep climbing position, whilst its progressive geo will let you focus on the next chute, tight switch back or fun side hit on the way back down.

Who said versatility has to be boring?

Build Rationale

Fox have been around since 1978 and in those 42 years they’ve taken a number of world firsts and been at the pinnacle of racing suspension ever since. Few, if any, brands have taken wins in Superbike, Motocross, Indy car, Snowmobile, ATV and of course Mountain Bikes. For 2021, Fox developed the brand new Float X, designed specifically to meet the demands of aggressive trail riders. Combining sophisticated damping & fade free performance in an incredibly light package, the Float X is ready for anything.

OneUp get the need for long travel/short insertion and are obsessed with shaving every last millimetre to create the shortest stack height and shortest overall length of any dropper. The ability to shim down the travel by 10 or 20mm means we can confidently fit longer posts knowing riders can get their saddle where they need it.

Combine this with an innovative ergonomic remote and unsurpassed reliability (if something does go wrong its easily serviced at home) means the One Up V2 Dropper is truly in a class of its own.

SRAM are no slouches when it comes to pushing the boundaries, its Eagle 12 speed groupsets set the trend way back in 2016, and with its new refined versions now with a 52T cassette and better shifting we’ve never had it better. The brand new GX groupset is the work horse of SRAM’s line-up, giving renowned shifting, tough build and a wallet friendly price tag, it’s the perfect choice for any Privateer.

A true trail machine, the Pike Ultimate is designed for today’s dream bikes and ready for any conquest you’ve got planned. Now featuring the latest DebonAir air spring paired with the Charger 2.1 damper, the Pike considered every detail reduce friction, minimize rider fatigue, and provide unmatched control over any trail.

Coil too?
The frame is designed to run great either a coil or air shock.

Does it fit a water bottle?
Yes! We'd recommend up to a 500ml bottle in a side load cage

Can I set the bike up mullet? (29" Front and 27.5" Rear?)
No, we do not recommend this set up as it will make the bottom bracket too low and slacken both the head and seat angles.

Can I run Plus Size?
The 141 was not intended to run plus, but can clear a 27.5x2.8 tyre. This will lower the bottom bracket height slightly.

Do the tyres come set-up tubeless?
Your tyres will arrive set up with inner tubes. To switch, simply remove the inner tubes and fit a tubeless valve and sealant.
