Details

Our 140mm/150mm travel Primer 29 trail bike is pure perfection…everywhere. Rolling on super-fast 29" wheels, the Primer 29 will give you trail-flattening speed over any obstacle, both on tough climbs and technical descents. In short, the Primer 29 is the ultimate all-around premium trail bike. It could be the only mountain bike you'll ever need.

The Primer 29 trail bike is the most versatile model in our range. With 140mm of rear travel and 150mm up front, we have designed a bike that is capable and balanced off road, but also nimble and fun at the same time. The Primer is a bike that is equally at home on long all-day rides, laps in your local woods, or multi-day adventures. It gives a confidence-inspiring trail ride and is the ultimate all-rounder.

The frame is the heart and soul of any bike, and all of our Primers are built around our perfectly designed monocoque carbon frame, with a dual-strut design rear triangle, optimized carbon fiber layup, a carbon top link, titanium hardware throughout, and internal (and silent) tubes for shifter, dropper post, and brake routing. Additional features include ISCG05 mounts, Flak guard armor frame protection on the downtube, a threaded bottom bracket shell, and our adjustable 'Flip Chip' technology.
