Meet in the middle on the Saguaro level 2. Built on the same bulletproof alloy frame as the rest of the family, the Saguaro 2 has a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, tubeless tyres and a TranzX dropper post in frame size-specific lengths. The perfect blend of value and high-performance fun.

The Saguaro Family: Simple, slack and full-on fun. The Saguaro 29-inch hardtail is purpose-built to be the most versatile bike in your quiver. Make no mistake, this hardcore hardtail is no XC bike. With an aggressive geometry and slack head angle that is more inclined to hauling down hills than pedaling up them, the Saguaro is stretched out in the front and shortened up in the back for a stable ride at speed.

As one of our testers put it: "It makes mellow trails more fun". Hit the jumps, hammer the single track and rip the turns. The Saguaro is everything you need, and nothing you don't.
