You shouldn’t have to spend a fortune to get a bike that can take on everything from enduro races to epic, big mountain descents or gnarly bike parks. The One-Sixty 500 gets our radical test and award-winning geometry and suspension design in a tough all-aluminium frame package, paired to Components that deliver rock-solid performance and ironclad value. A RockShox Domain fork and Super Deluxe shock can take the rough with the rougher, while the four-piston Shimano brakes and wide-range drivetrain are tough and consistent.
