$2,599.00 USD
Our most popular 29er trail bike makes a comeback with a completely new tubeset, straight top tube design, & refreshed geo. It's equipped with Enduro bearings on all pivot locations & each frame size gets specific chainstays lengths and seat tube angles. The Fugitive is the most versatile model in our line-up & it's available in two suspension options that suits post-work backyard laps, weekend tech climbs, and mid-summer rocky descents.
