A mountain bike for trails and cross-country riding. With a relatively short 120mm travel, the Photon is agile and efficient on the climbs, whilst the modern geometry and full-suspension set up are there to keep things under control on the descents.
For the rider looking for the added traction, control and comfort that a full-susser brings. Ideal for someone who is riding cross country or single-track trails. Maybe this is a first full-suspension MTB, stepping up from hardtail mountain bikes. All at a super affordable price.
