MP2 SUSPENSION

The mp2 suspension system is active with a near vertical wheel axle travel path, plus excellent lateral & torsional stiffness for rear wheel tracking precision.

TAPERED HEADTUBE

Riding fast with control requires steering precision, which starts with the front of the bike. Stiffening this area results in less wheel deflection, more wheel control. A tapered 1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2” head tube serves up a significant increase in rough terrain tracking and stability without much of a weight penalty compared to standard 1 1 /8” systems.

ASYMMETRICAL CHAINSTAYS

The chainstays are asymmetrical, with an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive side must be dropped & curved to clear the chain, but running the non-drive side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle laterally.

TUBELESS

Benefits of a tubeless set-up are reduced rotating weight and the ability to use lower inflation pressures for greater traction without the risk of pinch flats. WTB TCS rims feature a tubeless UST “On-Ramp” profile providing a consistent fit between the rim and the tire for easy installation and inflation.

WTB SADDLES

WTB has been producing mountain bike components for over thirty years. The Volt is the latest evolution in saddles. It has enough padding for all day riding comfort yet scant enough weights for XC competition.

STOPPING POWER

Top-notch braking shouldn’t break the bank. Shimano’s hydraulic brakes offer the power, the smooth modulation and all-day, all-conditions reliability.

AIR SPRING SUSPENSION

Rock Shox Deluxe and Monarch shocks offer adjustable rebound damping and a single valve air spring . It’s light and easily adjusted to suit rider and riding style.

WHY THRU AXLES?

Securing the rear wheel to the frame by threading a 12mm axle into the rear drop-outs is not only safer, it’s stiffer.  The rear wheel tracks directly in line with the frame, for more precise handling, so you can go faster with more confidence. The increase in stiffness of a 15mm fork axle improves steering & handling significantly. It also puts less stress on the fork’s internals, improving fork durability and performance. The hub drop outs provide a self centering feature for the wheel for fast, easy installation.

ONE AND ONLY

The 1x drivetrain philosophy is to make it simpler, lighter and more durable. Specific  chainring tooth profiles, clutch-type rear derailleurs and wide range cassettes are developed for an incredibly wide gear range and maximum control without the need to chain tensioning devices or guides.

MP2 SUSPENSION

Dual suspension platforms open up a whole new world of on-trail speed and control. The Dakar & Faultline models feature our proven MP2 design, the suspension platform that’s won us numerous industry accolades and Bike of the Year awards. It’s the perfect rig for the experienced hardtail rider looking to upgrade to a dual suspension bike, or for a new rider looking for a bit of a head start.

Asymmetrical Chainstays

The Dakar’s chainstays are asymmetrical, with an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive side must be dropped & curved to clear the chainring, but running the non-drive side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle laterally. This design also helps improve tire clearance.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. All bike and frame weights are based off pre-production painted frames. Weights may vary in final production.
