The Saguaro 29-inch hardtail is purpose built to be the most versatile bike in your quiver. Make no mistake, this hardcore hardtail is no XC bike. With an aggressive geometry and slack head angle that is more inclined to hauling down hills than pedaling up them, the Saguaro is stretched out in the front and shortened up in the back for a stable ride at speed. As one of our testers put it: “It makes mellow trails more fun”. Hit the jumps, hammer the single track and rip the turns. The Saguaro is everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
Saguaro 1
MSRP: $3,999.99
No corners were cut in creating the Saguaro 1. We didn't skimp on secondary components, either. From the Fox 36 Elite fork, to the DT Swiss wheel set to the Race Face cockpit and SRAM GX Transmission, every single part is ready for the highest level ride. No upgrades necessary.
