Getting as fast as possible from A to B cross-country demands components that won't let you down. So, for the Phenix C:68X Race, we started with Sram's all-electronic XO SL Eagle Transmission groupset, to put a huge range of gears at your fingertips. A RockShox SID SL Ultimate RL fork, lightweight Newmen Phase 30 wheels and fast-rolling Schwalbe Racing Ray and Racing Ralph 2.35in tyres all help keep the rubber side down for speed and control. The integrated carbon bar/stem combo is light and comfortable. And powerful Magura MT8 Pro brakes mean you can go faster, for longer.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />We know a thing or two about making fast cross-country race frames, but the Phenix C:68X moves the bar even higher. How? For starters, we used our premium C:68X carbon for the ultimate in low weight, high strength and ride comfort. We redesigned the seat tube junction to incorporate an integrated seat clamp. It's a small touch, but – along with Internal Cable Routing – it complements the frame's clean aesthetic and elegant, organic lines. And there's an adjustable angle headset, so you can tweak your bike's handling to suit your own taste.
