Description

Transmitter

Ultra-capable 27.5" hardtail - fast, lively and precise. Cut trails like a scalpel. Transmitter flows across cambers, roots, rocks and ruts. Get speed, agility and masses of fun with a long wheelbase, long trail and long reach. Then ask why anyone buys full suspension.

Neil's take

SX Eagle is a belter of an entry level groupset. The performance has trickled down from the top-of-the-range GX groupset so yes, it's heavier but you get most of the performance for a fraction of the price.

You want control over the rough stuff so upgrading the forks to Rockshox Revelation makes sense, and a dropper seatpost will help you fly down the trails with extra confidence.

SRAM SX Eagle

SRAM Eagle drivetrains are designed, engineered and manufactured to work as complete drivetrain systems. Its 1x drivetrain is built to be lightweight, strong and intuitive, with the gear range to ride on any terrain.

SX Eagle provides the same Eagle performance benefits as NX Eagle, but at a lower price point. The main differences stem from the choice of materials and finish options, but functionally SX is fully compatible with SRAMs Eagle groupset.

Sonder Nova 27.5"

Whether you're navigating rock gardens or tackling steep climbs, Novas will consistently give you a boost when the roads are rough and the terrain is tricky. Machine built for precision on Sonder’s sealed hubs.

Nova's have a boost hub for strength and stiffness and wide rims to improve tyre performance. They're built for abuse with sealed bearings and are tubeless ready.

Geometry and Sizing

Sizing

It is important to get the right size bike, if the bike fits it will be faster, more comfortable, and easier to handle. You can also take into consideration the standover height to ensure you pick a bike that will be a good fit. If you measure your inside leg and ensure there is a minimum of an inch from the toptube to your crotch this will give you enough seatpost adjustment to find your optimum saddle height.

Generally we recommend:
Small: Riders between 5ft 2in and 5ft 7in (157-170cm)
Medium: Riders between 5ft 6in and 5ft 10in (167-177cm)
Large: Riders between 5ft 9in and 6ft 2in (175-187cm)
X-Large: Riders of 6ft 2in + (187cm)
