RS-291 V2 Titanium
(Some components in these photos may differ from the spec sheets. Please refer to the spec sheets below for accuracy)
The eternal debate in the mountain bike community about being “overbiked” versus “underbiked” – it’s legit and where you land usually depends on where you ride, and how hard you shred. For most riders, the bike they’re riding is enough – until it’s not. Consider this bike as trail insurance – to cover your ass when things get steep, gnarly and fast – and we mean all of the above.
On paper, that 63.5-degree head angle and 150mm-travel front end might appear to be overkill. But when the ride starts to push your limits, you’d rather focus on how to max out the fun factor than second-guess whether or not your bike is the right weapon for killing the game. That slack front end, and 325mm BBH (V.2), are matched with a 75.3-degree seat tube angle, so you’re sat just right for all the climbing you’re gonna do to reach your bucket-list trails. And then it’s all downhill from there, as the saying goes – our first 29″-specific design feels so planted that your moves will feel more instinctual than intentional.
V2 Changes:
Brand New Tubing (Same as the MiddleChild Steel) - The result is a 150g weight saving and a more compliant frame
BBH has been raised by 8mm - It allows to run either a 140mm fork with 2.6 tires or 27.5x3.0 with a 160mm fork
New Head Tube sizes across all 4 sizes
The RS-291 is our most aggressive hardtail yet, and if your rides are rarely chill and you’re always looking to push it a little further or faster, then you should think hard about joining this rogue squad, and grab yer helmet.
