The ONE-SIXTY 700 gets all the cutting edge enduro performance of our radical test and award-winning design but with a high-value and fully featured all-aluminium frame. That means hard-hitting modern geometry with our FAST kinematic suspension that delivers a chaos taming ride alongside quality Marzocchi suspension. SRAM’s proven 12-speed wide-range drivetrain means reliable shifts time after time, while four-piston brakes make short work of keeping everything under control.
Evolution or revolution? How about both? The ONE-SIXTY is a radical, award-winning design that pushes our hard-hitting enduro platform to new heights. Just as well, because once it’s there it’s ready to rip the longest, toughest descents too. Our proven suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker, so whether you choose to run it as a full 29er (162 mm travel) or mixed 29/27.5” setup (171 mm travel), the geometry is preserved. There’s a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle plus 170 mm fork to deal with downhill trail chaos. Our AGILOMETER sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, all with long-travel dropper posts. WIRE PORT cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package, while carbon frames offer on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
