Bringing back the Endorphin: a New Aesthetic in a Fun-Sized Package

Bringing back the Endorphin: a New Aesthetic in a Fun-Sized Package

Posted by Noel Buckley on

The Endorphin is our first model that sets the tone for our 6th Generation of bike models to be released in the next year. With a straight top tube design, Enduro bearings on all pivots, and a one-piece link driving the shock, this launch features massive updates, with over 80% of the bike being changed from the outgoing generation.

In addition, the Endorphin has been designed for fun-sized people ranging in height from 4’11-5’10. It was developed from the ground up to suit riders with smaller inseams, who are seeking a playful trail bike that isn’t gender specific. There is also a new size range that spans from x-small to a limited production of large frames, allowing the Endorphin to cater to a broad range of heights and riding needs. And riders can tune their fit and preference, with a choice between dual 27.5 or MX options.
