The 20mm thru-axle front hubs common on<br />
DH and FR bikes are phenomenally stiff , for<br />
increased steering precision and control, and<br />
they are absolutely secure. But they are also<br />
heavy, so it’s diffi cult to consider them for use<br />
on lighter weight, mid-travel bikes. Thankfully,<br />
Fox and Shimano have introduced a new,<br />
lighter thru-axle standard aimed at the allmountain<br />
category. This new design uses the<br />
industry standard 100mm over-locknut front<br />
hub with a 15mm diameter thru-axle. It is 15%<br />
stiff er torsionally and 25% stiff er in transverse<br />
shear than the standard 9mm/QR. It’s light, it’s<br />
strong, it’s secure and it off ers tool-less release.<br />

DAKAR XCT SERIES. ALL NEW, TRAIL READY.<br />
Some days, you want to go cross-country, hard. And other times, you want to just follow the fall line, fast. It’s tough,<br />
deciding between two kinds of ride. Now you don’t have to.<br />
The all-new XCT splits the difference between pure cross-country performance and aggressive trail riding. It’s light<br />
and fast, with the stable pedal platform of our proven mp3 suspension so it climbs like an XC racer. But it’s also plush<br />
and tough, so you can use all 5 inches of suspension travel and plunge down descents like a Dakar XAM.<br />
Using XCR frame tubing keeps the heft down, with slightly relaxed angles and a longer wheelbase to add more<br />
high-speed stability without taking too much of an edge off the XCR’s crisp handling skills. Throw-in at least 130<br />
mm of fork travel, plus powerful hydraulic discs and aggressive tread and you have everything you need to stay in<br />
control no matter where you pedal.<br />
It’s a big world. Now you can ride all of it.<br />

We love the ride of our XCR’s and XAM’s. But blending the attributes of both in one design has created the perfect all-day trail bike: the 5”<br />
travel XCT. Thanks to our fully-active mp3 design, this bike maintains small bump compliance while climbing: a benefi t you’ll appreciate<br />
when the terrain wants to steal whatever momentum and traction you have going for you on that ascent. But it’s on the descents where<br />
you’ll discover just how aggressively this bike likes to be ridden. The shock ramps up perfectly, keeping the rear wheel stuck to the ground<br />
without blowing through its travel. And with our slack head angle off ering lots of high-speed stability, this bike simply begs for more.<br />
