Description
The mid-level Tracer build, the Expert features upgraded components with the same brilliant Foundation frame. Perfectly suited for shred rituals and formal Enduro outings, its slack geometry and huge travel lets you pick a line and hammer. The JS-Tuned suspension set-up allows for shorter than expected chainstays. Bombproof Stan's Flow 27.5 wheels are fast, nimble and reliable for long seasons of trail. To shave grams, Shimano's XT groupset positions the Tracer Expert in the category of glorious.
Monocoque unidirectional carbon frame with alloy top link is light, strong and stunning
Low standover height improve the bike's manoeuvrability
JS Enduro Tuned rear linkage results in efficient climbing and descending performance
Short chainstays and shorter wheelbase is made possible by the suspension link being nested directly above the bottom bracket
