Our best-kept secret, the SHINOBI surprised a lot of people when it was introduced in 2011. For the first time there was a bike that could be considered a truly all-mountain 29er. With 120 mm of A.R.T. rear suspension, a 140mm travel fork and aggressive geometry, its descending abilities got more than a second look. Just as comfortable on the way up, it is redefining the way people look at the 29er genre. All-mountain, enduro, singletrack and whatever else you can throw at it, the SHINOBI makes short work of any trail it encounters.
