Do you love tricky downhill sections as much as challenging, long climbs? Are you looking for fresh, still unkown trails, even in alpine terrain? Not for well-frequented routes but rather for tough paths? Then you either need four bikes that each shine in a very limited range of application.
Or one great allrounder that superiorly matches all of your demands. A bike that is efficient on uphills, with no power-robbing suspension bob. A bike that makes your life way easier in demanding terrain thanks to its suspension that reacts extremely sensitive. And that's forgiving on downhills thanks to its generous travel - just in case you make a mistake. And finally, a bike that sports large-volume tires with an aggressive thread and hydraulic discbrakes - and still is light enough for extended climbs.
With its high-class specification, the top model of Wheeler's «Hornet»-line will please even demanding bikers:
Despite the «Hornet»-series bike's offering plenty of travel and stiffness, Wheeler's engineers and product managers have always kept an eye on the weight. The four-bar suspension system is working highly efficient. Whether the result is called a longtravel-cross country-bike or simply an all-mountain does not matter. What does matter is the fact that these bikes deliver an optimal functionality in every kind of terrain - thanks to its variable travel, which comes as a standard equipment on the «Hornet»-bike's front and back ends. For a real allrounder, the option to lock out the suspension and hydraulic disc brakes make sense perfectly. Thanks to the frame's continuous seattube, the saddle can be lowered all the way, and the «Hornet»-series' hydraforming-crafted low-slung top tube gives you plenty of standover height. You'll be glad about this on the roughest and trickiest trails. Go ahead, enjoy the trails and the landscape ahead to the full - your «Hornet» will take care of the rest.
SANDED WELDS ALLOW FOR MORE ATTRACTIVE DESIGNS ON THE «HORNET»-SERIES' MAIN FRAME.
BY MEANS OF HYDRAFORMING, THE CHAINSTAY IS SHAPED IN A WAY THAT NO WELD WEAKENS THE TUBE - RESULTING IN A STRONGER REAR TRIANGLE WITHOUT ADDED WEIGHT.
THE TOP TUBE HAS BEEN OPTIMIZED WITH HYDRAFORMING AS WELL: THE «HORNET»-SERIES' FRAME NOW OFFERS EVEN MORE STANDOVER HEIGHT WITHOUT THE NEED OF A GUSSET BETWEEN TOP AND SEAT TUBE.
