now making molehills
out of a mountain near you
When we created the Mission three years ago, we set out to build
a do-anything, ride-anywhere rig. The result was a six-inch travel,
all mountain bike that bombed downhills, pedaled like a rocket, and
quickly won fans at North Shore Mountain Bike.com,
Mountain Bike, Dirt Rag and Decline magazines.
For 2010, we took everything we liked about the Mission and, to use a
technical engineering term, added a can of whoop ass to the mix.
We improved the Mission’s pedaling efficiency, tweaked and lightened
every single tube to perfection, and upped the frame stiffness with a
tapered headtube, a full complement of double-row bearings, and a
new Knuckle Box that’s devilishly light and stout.
Say hello to the new Mission: the perfect bike for any occasion that
involves dirt, sweat and unlawful speed.
