This frame offers multiple configurations, including Standard, All Mountain, and Enduro modes, allowing riders to tailor the bike to their specific needs. The geometry is optimized for modern enduro riding, featuring a 63.5-degree head angle, a 485mm reach in the large size, and a 78-degree effective seat tube angle. These dimensions contribute to a balanced ride, providing stability at high speeds while maintaining agility on technical trails. (velduro.com)
