The approach: We make it as easy and comfortable as possible for women, but tickle the sportiness out of them. An adjustment template on the fork and shock helps with the suspension setting. The riding position on the bike is more central. The slack steering angle is kept in balance by the longer chainstays so that the front wheel stays on the ground even on steep uphill sections. The 150 mm suspension travel can also be adjusted for lightweights and gives you confidence on descents. Thanks to special TwinLoc technology, the lockout on the fork and shock can be operated from the handlebars on uphill sections - although this means more cable clutter on the cockpit.
Sissi Pärsch, test driver: A good-natured all-mountain bike that can do everything from crossing the Alps to bike park excursions. However, I could do without the TwinLoc. If only to untangle the tangle of cables on the handlebars.
