The 2020 Carbine balances 29er speed with impeccable Trail manners thanks to an Enduro-focused geometry and 155mm travel that Provide lively, playful handling and big-hit capability. Proven with multiple EWS wins, the Carbine is most at home on rough, fast Trails where you'll get the biggest benefit from the 29" Wheels and maximum fun out of the longer travel.
