Blackthorn’s Split Pivot suspension adds to its efficiency with a design that pedals exceptionally well and maintains traction even while braking through your full range of travel. With 145mm rear travel and a 160mm fork, you can lean into those coming-in-hot moments without losing control.
On-bike cargo mounts let you rethink the need for a hip pack: mount two bottles, your multitool and tube, plus our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or a K-Edge computer mount directly to your frame to stay supplied on more remote rides. Shimano’s Deore 12-speed drivetrain is a reliable workhorse with components you rarely have to think about.
