Suspension for the rougher sections

The X-Fusion Sweep RC fork and X-Fusion O2 Pro R rear shock give the Blackbird 160 mm of travel at each end. The full-suspension layout helps absorb bumps from roots, stones and uneven ground on enduro trails. Have the suspension set up according to its instructions and keep to the required service intervals.

Choose a gear for the climb

A 32T chainring works with an 11–48T cassette. The Advent derailleur’s clutch helps manage chain movement over rough ground. You use one shifter, with no front derailleur to operate.

Set your contact points

The fixed aluminium seatpost carries a railed saddle. Set saddle height before riding, then check your reach to the bar and brake levers. Hydraulic disc brakes are included; have their position and operation checked during setup.

Compare the frame sizes

Suggested rider heights are approximately 160–170 cm for Small, 170–180 cm for Medium, 180–190 cm for Large and 190–200 cm for XL. Use these as a guide, then compare reach and clearance with a bike you know. Choose trails and features within the bike’s intended use and your ability.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Read our important information before buying and using a bike for assembly, servicing and riding checks.
