Totally planted, thoroughly sorted and outrageously capable. The highly regarded ONE-SIXTY 8000 delivers top-level performance with a lightweight, carbon fibre frame with radical geometry and sizing plus the ability to run 29er or mixed 29”/27.5” wheels. Our proven FAST kinematic is paired to a high-end RockShox 170 mm Zeb fork and Super Deluxe shock, while the SRAM GX T-Type wireless transmission gives clean, precise shifts every time.
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.
