Glossary · 8 archetypes

DNA archetypes DNA

Every bike lands in one of eight archetypes based on travel, angles and geometry-derived ride character.

XC Rocket

Race XC. Steep HTA, short 100-120mm travel and short chainstays. Marathon and XCO territory.

Downcountry Weapon

XC/trail hybrid: around 120mm travel, dropper, low weight and more descending confidence.

Trail Dancer

One-quiver 130-150mm bike. The compromise option: it does not dominate one axis, but works almost everywhere.

All-Mountain Ripper

150-165mm aggressive trail bike. Enduro-capable while keeping playfulness and reasonable climbing.

Enduro Beast

165-180mm, slack HTA and long wheelbase. Built around fast, technical descending.

Gravity Weapon

Around 200mm travel, very slack HTA and full descending priority. Bike park and DH territory.

Gravel Explorer

Drop-bar off-road geometry, 71-73° HTA, wider tyres, endurance fit and long-distance intent.

Road Racer

Race road geometry. Steep angles, short chainstay, aero stance and quick steering response.
