What do you love about your new bike?
I recently took my new Fugitive 140 out for its first ride, and I was blown away! Climbing felt effortless, and when it came time to drop in, I had zero hesitation—the confidence and control on the descents were unreal.
With its updated geometry and frame design, I often forgot I was on a mid-travel trail bike. The Fugitive floats over rough terrain like a long-travel machine, soaking up chatter and keeping me planted. I can’t wait to push this bike to its limits this summer—it’s a true do-it-all ride for jumping, pedaling, tech, and big mountain lines!
