An Unfair Advantage.
When you want to go really fast, the Racer X is the bike of choice. If there was ever the perfect cross-country bike, this is it. No other bike offers the drive, stiffness, and efficiency of a racing hardtail with 4" of rear wheel travel. Not only can this bike climb like nothing else, it has more than enough suspension to tackle anything on the descents as well. It’s a lot like cheating – only you won't get caught.

This year we set out to take the Racer X one step beyond what even we thought we could achieve. The 2008 Racer X sports an all-new lightweight (T.U.F. Tubing) front triangle that cut almost 10% of the weight out of the front triangle. When bundled with the triple-butted, hydro-formed down tube, carbon rockers, and lightweight swingarm, you'll see quickly why this bike has set the standard in XC performance and has won awards year after year.
