Details
The lightest 34 ever, the 34 Step-Cast is designed from the ground up to deliver uncompromising XC race performance with class leading tunability, chassis stiffness and strength.
- Step-Cast chassis
- Genuine Kashima Coating on upper tubes
- Grip SL and FLOAT EVOL air spring
- Dedicated air spring and damper tune are specific for this travel range, with a lighter tune at mid and higher velocities
The GRIP SL is an incredibly light, short travel-specific damper that not only saves weight, but provides an unparalleled ride feel in its class. Riders experience a supple stroke with an optimized pedal-to-bump efficiency, as well as a smooth blowoff force in lockout mode to reduce rider fatigue.
The arch design is pairs perfectly with modern trail bikes, where head tube profiles have grown larger and fork offsets shorter. The 34 SC’s arch juts forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression. Countless engineering hours created an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with the absolute minimal amount of material.
The svelte new Kabolt SL thru-axle drops an additional 12g over our standard Kabolt axle by eliminating the additional weight of an axle nut and decreasing the flange diameter.
