Enduro riders are a speedy kind: On the downhills, they let loose on the brakes, but still they want to pedal up to the summit
themselves – without unnecessary weight on their bike or any annoying bobbing caused by the suspension. A slightly more upright position is preferred, and therefore the HORNET's geometry is slightly shorter than that of cross country oriented
models. Thanks to generous amounts of travel, even tricky trails can be mastered without problems. Wide, yet easy rolling tires and powerful brakes further enhance these allround bikes' performance.
