This model is engineered for riders seeking precision, control, and dynamic performance on technical trails and rugged terrains.
Advanced Carbon Frame Design
The Sierra boasts a meticulously crafted carbon frame, incorporating Fantic’s proprietary Cobra Design. This architecture enhances stiffness in critical areas, resulting in improved stability and accuracy during aggressive trail riding. The frame’s geometry is thoughtfully designed to provide an optimal balance between control and agility.
Suspension and Geometry
Equipped with 160mm of front travel and 155mm at the rear, the Sierra is positioned firmly within the long-travel trail to all-mountain category. This setup ensures ample reserves for challenging descents while maintaining balanced climbing capabilities. A Flip Chip system allows riders to adjust the geometry, enabling configurations with either a traditional 29-inch wheel setup or a mullet configuration with a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheel. The latter enhances maneuverability and traction on tight, technical trails.
Bosch Performance Line CX Gen5 Motor
At the heart of the Sierra is the Bosch Performance Line CX Gen5 motor, delivering up to 120Nm of torque. This motor provides robust assistance, particularly beneficial on steep, technical ascents, offering riders enhanced control and responsiveness. The system is complemented by a removable Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery, with the option to add a 250Wh range extender for extended rides.
