| FULL DESCRIPTION |
The Core is a true freeride hardtail that will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain – from big drops and jumps to long climbs and winding singletrack. We discovered that even thought we saw a lot of bikes on the trail modified in a similar way only a few manufacturers were offering complete bikes built like this. Also, we believe that steel is the ideal material for this kind of bike –it’s strong, not prone to catastrophic failure and but does not transmit vibrations as harshly as the aluminium in frames that most manufacturers specify. That`s why we decided that we had to make this bike. So if you want a do-it-all hardtail, you should be riding the Core.
The Core 3 has a very sensible pick of components and a nice price. We spec`d the tried and tested Marzocchi DJ3 fork with 120mm of travel, purpose built freeride parts from Truvativ and Hayes brakes with 180mm discs. It`s important to note that unlike many other bikes in this price category, the Core 3 is not a freeride-wannabe toy, and there is no compromise of the durability and strength of any part in this bike. |
