Progressive trail geometry has been carefully tuned across each frame size to give every rider the same optimal fit and ride quality, while A.R.T. suspension delivers both efficient climbing and lively, capable descending. Ride your trails, your way - and ways you never thought possible - faster, with more control, complete confidence and that feeling of becoming at one with the bike. Available in carbon or aluminum with your choice of 650B or 29” wheels, the Optic gives you a whole new perspective on the trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFRAMESET\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrameset \u003c\/strong\u003eOptic Trail frame 120mm travel \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e FOX 34 Float Performance Elite 650B 100x15 130mm travel \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead Shock\u003c\/strong\u003e Fox Float DPS Peformance Elite EVOL \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCOMPONENTS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Post \u003c\/strong\u003eRockshox Reverb stealth 31.6 mm\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Post Clamp \u003c\/strong\u003eNorco Design \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle \u003c\/strong\u003eSDG Circuit Mtn with chromoly rails \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifter Casing \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset \u003c\/strong\u003eCane Creek 10 Series \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset Spacer \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStem \u003c\/strong\u003eRace Face Turbine Basic 35 60mm Length\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar \u003c\/strong\u003eRace Face Turbine 760x20mm \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrips \u003c\/strong\u003eNorco lock on grip\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Brake \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano Deore XT hydraulic disc 180mm rotor \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain Tensioner \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Brake \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano XT hydraulic disc brake 160mm \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Levers \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano Deore XT \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Rotors \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Cable Rising \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWHEELS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRims \u003c\/strong\u003eEaston AR 24 650B tubeless ready \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTyres \u003c\/strong\u003eSchwalbe Nobby Nic 650Bx2.25 \/ Racing Ralph 650Bx2.25 EVO liteskin \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubes \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Hub \u003c\/strong\u003eSram MTH 716 15x100mm \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Hub \u003c\/strong\u003eSram MTH 746 148x12mm XD \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpoke\/Nipples \u003c\/strong\u003eSapim double butted black \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDRIVETRAIN\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifter Front \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano XT 2sp I spec\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifter Rear \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano XT 11sp I spec \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Derailleur \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano XT 2x11 FD side swing front pull \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano XT long cage 11 speed for 2x11 \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaasette \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano 11-42T 11 sp \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset\u003c\/strong\u003e Race Face Turbine w\/32 Cinch 1x11 and 36\/26T 2x11 Boost crank \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket \u003c\/strong\u003eRace Face Press fit BB92 \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePedals \u003c\/strong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano HG-600-11 11sp\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch1\u003e ABOUT THE OPTIC SERIES:\u003c\/h1\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/juNHlc899ZU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeometry First\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery degree, every millimeter matters and can mean the difference between having an average ride or an epic experience, being on the bike or being at one with it.
