Nimble is as nimble does, and the S-Works Fate takes it to a whole new level.

Equipped with the sport’s most cutting edge components, the S-Works Fate stands alone with an 80mm-travel RockShox RS-1 Brain fork, and the super-lightweight and World-Championship-winning carbon Roval Control SL wheelset. No doubt about it—Fate is calling your name.
