| Despite being a hardtail, the Rocky Mountain Reaper 2 is designed to be a full-fledged all-mountain bike with a DJ split personality. The fat 2.35 tires, the 22/32/bash crankset, and the generously overbuilt aluminum frame all mean business on the trail or in the park. There is nothing the Reaper 2 is afraid of. |
| If youre looking to build an all-mountain/trail bike, heres a very good place to start: The Slayer SXC 30. As Rocky Mountains all-mountain tamer, the SXC frames are designed with slack head angles, asymmetric chainstays, and hydroformed aluminum tubes to keep it stiff, light, and just right. Pointed up or down, straight or technical, it feels at home in any of those circumstances. |
| Jamis overhauled the XAM last year, and still found room for improvement to make it even better! They beefed up the chainstay and yoke dimensions and made the rear dropout thru-axle compatible. The Jamis Xam 1 features a 7005 aluminum frame, 150mm travel mp3 linkage design cartridge bearing pivots, Fox RP2 shock, and a Marzocchi 55 TST2 fork. |
