When we say Horsethief Carbon XT is an “all-around” trail bike, we mean that you’ll be riding it all around the world. 120 mm of Split Pivot® rear suspension coupled with a 140 mm fork equip you for New England’s infamously rocky and rooty singletrack, Moab’s slickrock, Copper Harbor’s flow trails, or trails that hold unknown challenges. Shimano’s XT group upholds its reputation for refined shifting and braking performance. With the added versatility of tuning your ride with a flip chip and capacity for 29” or 27.5 plus wheels, riding a Horsethief means riding wherever and whatever you want.
