Bombproof builds so you can push your limits. Confidence-inspiring bikes that grow with your ambitions.

161

The Bruiser.

"It's so easy to just ride this bike down
things, over things and through things."

4.5/5
"Encourages fast riding!"

A trouble maker.

This isn't just about comfort.
It's also about confidence.
Use up all the travel.
Knowing there is always a little extra.

We’re (almost) never happy.

If we’re chill and comfortable, we’re not pushing limits.
Size-specific chainstays and aggressive seat tubes.
Slack head angles and an extended top tube.
Innovation that comes from a team who doesn’t know when to quit.

Get out.
Stay out.

Riding, not repairing, is the reason we love bikes.
Everything should be about maximizing trail time.
So we made the 161 absolutely bombproof.
And, if needed, as easy to fix as opening an beer.

From this.

Cut the
Crap.

The 161 is made for easy
race tuning using minimal
tools.

Quickly play around with the
set-up and get out there.

To this.

Attention to Detail.

More Space.

All sizes have plenty of room to accomodate a large water bottle in the front triangle without any clearance issues.

Additional Mounts.

Not everyone likes riding with a pack, so we feature a specific tool mount under the top tube for a tube, pump or other tools.

"Riding blind, riding tired, riding at the
edge of my ability - the 161 has my back."
