The ST4 is a design made to continue our own inimitable niche: bikes for mountain biking, pure and unabridged. Like the original Mk1, the new Mk2 frame is a responsive low-slung trail missile, efficient on the pedals but with downhill poise that belies its travel. It’s not about fashion; it’s about the ride.
Built for all-day missions, the ST4 uses a low leverage ratio to produce 110mm of buttery smooth travel. Rather than use a shorter 165 mm shock the ST4 takes a lesson from the Blood, running a 190mm custom tuned Fox RP23 for perfect progression. The geometry that made the original a classic, but updated to markedly stiffen the chassis laterally and incorporate linkage development from the Strange department
