Then the «Falcon 20» might be the right bike for you. Its four-bar kinematics isolate drivetrain- and brake-induced forces from the suspension. In order to eliminate even the slightest hint of bobbing on paved climbs, you can also lock-out X-Fusions's «O2 RL»-damper. This even can be done from the handlebar with Rock Shox's «Reba SL»-fork. With 100mm of travel and a lot of adjusting options, this fork also cuts a good figure on day-long rides. For the rest of the equipment, reliability and quality were of paramount importance. That's why the «Falcon 20» comes with Shimano's complete «XT» groupset, including the hydraulic disc brakes and even the hubs. These parts are as sure to stand the test of time as Ritchey's «Pro»-series parts and Selle Italia's saddle. Hutchinson's fast rolling tires and a pair of Shimano's proven SPD system pedals finish off the «Falcon 20»'s specification and make sure this bike is ready for offroad adventures straight out of the box.
LOCKED-OUT OR ACTIVE? WITH THE «POP LOC»-LEVER, YOU CAN LOCK-OUT YOUR SUSPENSION FORK IN ANY SITUATION FROM YOUR BIKE'S HANDLEBAR.
WHEELER THINKS ABOUT TALLER RIDERS AS WELL: THAT'S WHY ALL «FALCON»-MODELS WITH A 21 INCH-FRAMESIZE ARE BEING MOUNTED WITH A LARGER-DIAMETER DISC BRAKE ROTOR ON THE FRONT WHEEL.
