FOX 34 RHYTHM FORK
SMOOTHER – STIFFER – MORE PLUSH THAN EVER
The mid-travel trail fork is built for rowdy riders. The ‘trickle-down’ technology from the 36 series makes the 34 an extremely appealing package – providing a smooth and plush mountain bike fork that is ready to ride, straight out of the box. With the Fox 34, you can be sure to enjoy a low maintenance, highly tunable, light fork that can withstand the tough stuff.
FOX FLOAT DPS REAR SHOCK
MORE CONTROL – LESS FRICTION – BETTER DAMPER
Designed specifically to meet the demands of aggressive trail riders, the new FLOAT DPS combines sophisticated damping and fade free performance with unmatched weight and outstanding structural integrity.
SHIMANO SLX 12-SPEED DRIVETRAIN
LIGHTWEIGHT – ROBUST – RELIABLE
The Shimano SLX drivetrain paired with a 11-51T cassette provides you with top-tier performance – giving you a wide gear range paired with crisp shifting. Whether you’re hammering it up a steep climb or bombing a descent, you’ll always have the right gear.
SHIMANO MT401
RELIABLE – PRACTICAL – POWERFUL
The Shimano MT401 4-Piston Hydraulic disc brake provides riders with reliable and quiet braking performance in all conditions. Paired with substantial 180mm rotors, the brakes provide ample power for when you’re sending it down those back-country lines.
SCHWALBE HANS DAMPF
GRIPPY – PREDICTABLE – RELIABLE
The aggressive and burly Hans Dampf tires fitted on the T8 offer you a solid blend of hard and soft terrain grip – giving you that do-it-all trail riding tire. The beefier 2.6” width is perfect for that chunky terrain, keeping you on the trail for longer, worry-free.

FEATURES
One Piece linkage
STIFF – EFFICIENT PEDALING – 10% INCREASE
The proven One Piece Unibody Pivot Bridge removes the bells and whistles – leaving you with a reliable and uncomplicated linkage that gives you an active feel on the bike, which is perfect for both climbing and descending. Not only do you attain the perfect ride, it reduces the weight of the frame and increases the stiffness. The linkage update has resulted in a 10% increase in anti squat which has significantly improved pedaling efficiency.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
RATTLE FREE – SLEEK – PROTECTIVE
Besides the clean aesthetic look that internal routing provides, internally routed cables are protected within the frame. Cables can rust and fray if they are exposed to the elements; additionally, if you crash, the odds of destroying your cables are greatly reduced.
FRAME DETAILS
DETAILS – SPLASH OF COLOUR
From the sexy paint scheme to the minuet details, the Siskiu T8 covers all the bases. Feast your eyes on the copper shine of the Charcoal downtube and the shape-shifting purple of the purple/black colourway. Not only are the details spot on, the T8 comes with a chain guard – keeping your chainstay free from scuffs.
