FEATURES:
- High-Pivot Design: Session’s rearward axle path, facilitated by its high-pivot design, allows the back wheel to move with the force from bumps, resulting in smoother suspension, maintaining forward momentum, and enhancing grip on the trail
- Wheel Compatibility: Equipped with 29er wheels for speed, Session also supports mixed setups, enabling riders to opt for a 27.5˝ rear wheel or even 27.5″ front and rear for enhanced agility
- Mino Link Adjustments: Offers flexibility in tuning both geometry and suspension, allowing riders to adjust for a progressive feel on race days or dial it back for park sessions
- Reach-Based Sizing: Recognizing that reach influences fit and ride quality more than seat tube length in DH bikes, Session’s sizing is based on reach, ensuring riders find the right setup for their needs
- Active Braking Pivot: Allows engineers to fine-tune suspension reactions to acceleration and braking forces independently, providing riders with enhanced control in critical situations
