MBR magazine described our T-160 RS as “an absolute ripper. It feels totally planted and you don’t have to do any sort of risk assessment before launching into a load of nasty stuff.” That’s because we’ve spent years doing those risk assessments and launching into that nasty stuff ourselves.
Evolving our revolutionary slammed, stretched and user adjustable Total Geometry ride dynamic for a brilliant mix of easy pedal or distance speed but glue-like grip when it’s time to turn and burn. We’ve curated the RS componentry with equal passion and insight too so there’s no weak links when it’s time to get wild, head into the wilds - or both.
