This new big wheeled Enduro / All Mountain bike is the monster truck of the Snabb range. A whopping 150mm of travel in the rear and a massive 150mm fork paired with the 29” wheels really make it capable of rolling over anything at any speed. In this case, size does matter! If you've got what it takes, take this bike. These few words from Dirt Mountain Bike magazine sum up this bike: “How does the NS compared to the other machines that we have in the list? To be straight. Very well. Stable on the straights and nimble in the turns. When sending the bike into the abyss, over shooting a jump, the suspension took it like a champ. In no uncertain terms this really is a cracker of a bike. The build spec may have some small issues but the price allows for some wiggle room for upgrades. The Snabb has up to date sizing and a clean smooth look. This really is up in the top end of the ranks. Would I buy this bike? It is most definitely on the short list with a select few that i would.”

The Snabb is the dream bike that we always wanted to have - a machine on which you can keep up with the guys on DH rigs in a bike park on one day, and do an epic ride with your mates on XC rigs on the next.
Praised for performance and reliability, great geometry and fine handling, we treat the Snabb as mission accomplished. Wanna hear some tech talk...? Ok... there is a fair amount of anti-squat built into the horst-link design - this is especially important for use with 1X drivetrains. The 2017 Snabbs now feature one piece rocker arm keeps the already very rigid rear triangle even stiffer. It drives the new generation of shocks from Sram with a trunion mount - longer, bigger, better. The combination of the new shocks and rocker arms result in a more linear suspension curve and overall smoother functioning of the system. The geometry is modern, low, long and slack. We know that NS Bikes customers are usually tough, aggressive riders and expect our products to hold up to seasons of abuse. That is why the frames are built to DH racing standards in both alloy and carbon versions and run on high-end MAX bearings for prolonged periods of smooth, service free use.
