You have as much (more?) fun powering uphill as you do ripping down. Our alchemists have blended the best of both for your ideal bike: the Arktos 120. Sure, full-on XC race bikes are super fast and nimble, but hit any legit descent and you’re hanging on like an amateur cowboy on an especially angry bull! Alchemy’s modern geometry combined with our signature Sine Suspension virtually eliminates ‘pedal bob’, providing instant, efficient, forward power to attack climbs, rollers and sprints. And when it’s time to head back down, the 130mm/120mm of FOX Factory, Kashima-coated front/rear suspension punches well above its weight, so you can retake the reins and tame all but the most obstacle-ridden descents (save those for our 135 or 150 models). Wherever flat-out speed, confident descending, and all-day comfort are required, the Arktos 120 lets you earn your reward and then shred it!
