Big jumps, single track flow, downhill and scree. This bike is going to be a bike built for all aspects of MTB'ing.

What model and colour?

How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?

I'm 6ft and the medium frame is the perfect size. I wouldn’t want anything bigger or smaller.

What do you love about your new bike?

I recently took my new Fugitive 140 out for its first ride, and I was blown away! Climbing felt effortless, and when it came time to drop in, I had zero hesitation—the confidence and control on the descents were unreal.

With its updated geometry and frame design, I often forgot I was on a mid-travel trail bike. The Fugitive floats over rough terrain like a long-travel machine, soaking up chatter and keeping me planted. I can’t wait to push this bike to its limits this summer—it’s a true do-it-all ride for jumping, pedaling, tech, and big mountain lines!
