You can't go wrong with the second most expensive aluminium version of the One Twenty: a 2637 gram frame with full Fox suspension, sophisticated kinematics and a reliable Deore/XT mix are worth every euro you leave at the dealer. The shock responds to even the smallest bumps, so the platform is good on the climbs. The rather upright position with the wide 690 riser bar invited us to really let it rip on the technical downhill sections of our test ride. When things get tight, a pull on the snappy Deore stoppers is all it takes. Adjustment tip: With 85 PSI in the fork and 120 PSI in the shock, our 72-kilo test rider used the entire stroke. Useful details: continuous cables and fine seatpost markings.
Conclusiongreat overall package. A tough nut to crack in terms of equipment, even for mail order companies.
