Product Details

There are a whole host of reasons that our 29ers are so popular, from descending confidence to climbing prowess. Regardless of the reason, however, speed and capability are always at the forefront of choosing a 29er. Knowing this, our Rumor FSR Elite 29 is purpose-built to deliver top-level performance for trail riders, enabling you to motor over rocks and roots. Plenty of travel for technical descent, durable, efficient components, and obsessive attention to detail—this Rumor has it all. In addition to this, every component of the bike, from the handlebars to the crankarm length, is tailored for both women and rider size. And just as importantly, its Women's Trail 29 Geometry creates a roomy, responsive, and confidence inspiring ride quality with a low standover height, while every aspect of the suspension has been scrutinized and custom-tuned for women.

A M5 Aluminium frame checks all of the performance boxes, like internal cable and dropper post routing, light overall weight, and the perfect blend of stiffness and compliance, but it's also built around our Women's 29 Trail Geometry that dramatically reduces standover height, while increasing comfort and confidence over rugged terrain.
