With ample space for two water bottles, it’s ideal for all-day adventures, technical singletrack, and everything in between.

HIGH MODULUS CARBON FRAME
The Superior XF 979 TR’s high-modulus carbon frame, combined with a one-piece 3D forged alloy link, delivers exceptional stiffness and compliance for a lightweight and efficient ride. The flex stay rear triangle reduces weight and enhances responsiveness and pedaling efficiency, making it an ideal design choice for shorter-travel bikes where every gram counts.
FAST UPHILL, EVEN FASTER DOWNHILL

The more XC-style 74° seat angle is perfect for flat and undulating terrain, making all-day adventures a comfortable experience.
