The 125mm rear suspension travel comes via our Split Pivot system, which optimizes both pedaling and braking performance for excellent pedaling efficiency and braking traction. A 140mm-travel RockShox Pike fork up front helps tame technical trails for a smooth, controlled ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackthorn’s cargo mounts let you load up for longer rides: fit two bottles, a repair kit, snacks, and other essentials without worrying where it’ll all go at the last minute (and leave the sweaty hip pack at home). The SRAM Eagle 70 drivetrain is durable enough for all your adventures and makes it easy to find the right gearing for the trail’s ups and downs. Is this one of the best aluminum trail bikes for riders who want a little of everything in an MTB?
