OVERVIEW

SE:SERIES 8 AIR - DAILY COMMUTER MEETS OFFROAD GETAWAY

Hardtail sport riding commuters and offroad getaways. Featuring a 8-Speed Shimano ESSA drivetrain, 100mm Air suspension fork, and hydraulic disc brakes, make the SE:Series 8 an off-road Sport-XC bike, ideal for weekend adventures. The included standard kickstand and rack mounts, make it equally comfortable and convenient for your daily commute.

SPORT OPTIMISED POP GEOMETRY

POP geometry engages bigger leg muscle groups for more effective climbing. The rider position on the SE:Series 8 improves traction, front wheel grip and bike control. This means that it also feels more natural, boosting confidence and skill development.

Air Suspension Fork

The SE:Series 8 Air comes equipped with a lighter weight Air-sprung 100mm suspension fork - Suntour XCR Air fork with Tapered Steerer. A suspension fork improves comfort and traction on a hardtail mountain bike.
