KTM Lycan 273 SE1   $3,799

It seems that mid-travel trail bikes are all the rage at the moment, combining low weight and efficient pedalling with enough fun-factor rolled in to make them a blast to ride on trails that don’t remand masses of travel. With 125mm of travel, 27.5 wheels, short 433mm chainstays and a 67-degree head angle, the Lycan 273 SE1 provides a fast and engaging ride. The ‘Straight Line’ suspension system keeps the frame simple and light, as does the Shimano SLX/XT 1X11 drivetrain. It’s a bike that’s virtually guaranteed to leave you with a post-ride grin! 

 

 

Merida One-Forty 500   $2,499 

Get rowdy on the trail with the One-Forty; Merida’s premium hydroformed alloy all-mountain platform.

Salted Popcorn Enduro   $3,299

For many fatbikes are the ultimate adventure machine, and with the Aussie designed Popcorn Enduro in your quiver, you won’t be limited by the trail anymore. Equipped with 4.8-inch Vee Tire Snowshoes and 100mm wide Dice rims, the Popcorn floats over terrain that will stop any regular or plus tyre MTB in its tracks. The massive air volume means single digit tyre pressures and limitless traction on the trail too.
