BH Bikes LYNX RACE 3.0

The "LYNX RACE 3.0" model from BH Bikes, released in 2023, is a high-quality mountain bike that stands out for its well-thought-out design and high-performance components. The frame is made from a combination of carbon and aluminium, resulting in a total weight of just 13 kg, whilst the maximum rider weight is 165 kg.

For the brakes, BH Bikes has opted for the Shimano MT410 with 180 mm discs, which deliver reliable braking performance. The drivetrain is a Shimano SLX 7100 with 12 speeds, controlled via the Shimano Deore 6100 shift levers. This enables precise and rapid gear changes, which are an advantage on challenging rides.

The Rock Shox Recon RL Remote fork, with 100 mm of travel, and the Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock, also with 100 mm of travel, ensure optimum suspension and damping, which significantly enhances riding comfort.

The bottom bracket and crankset are also from Shimano, with the crankset measuring 175 mm in length. The drivetrain is complemented by Shimano Deore components, ensuring high reliability and durability.

The LYNX RACE 3.0’s handlebars are BH LITE Flat with a width of 780 mm, whilst the BH SL Lock On grips ensure a secure grip. The stem is a BH SL, 80 mm long with a diameter of 31.8 mm, and has a tilt angle of +/-6 degrees.

The steering system is supported by the Acros ICR 36/45 headset with Block Lock 160. The rims are Race Face Aeffect TLR, 27 mm wide with 32 spokes, which, together with the Maxxis Ardent EXO 2.25 tyres at the front and the Maxxis Ikon EXO 2.25 tyres at the rear, ensure excellent traction and stability.

The front and rear hubs are Shimano MT400/412 models, which ensure smooth and efficient power transfer. The saddle is a Prologo Nago RS, mounted on a BH LITE seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm and a length of 420 mm.

In addition, the bike is FIT-compatible, meaning it can be adjusted to suit different rider heights and riding styles.
