Finally a trail bike with character! This aggressive 29”-er with 120mm frame travel and progressive, modern geometry is an efficient tool for hammering climbs, but it turns into a rowdy rascal when you point it the other way. Yes it’s hard to believe but all our test riders loved this bike - and they ranged from racers with shaved legs to guys in full-face helmets who took this bike to the biggest jump lines in the hood. With a sturdy alloy construction, three oversized bearings in the main pivot, the Nerd Lite is fast, fun and will last.
MAIN FEATURES:
Alloy frame with 120mm travel
Fox Performance suspension
SRAM GX 12 speed drivetrain
35mm NS Bikes aftermarket cockpit
X-Fusion dropper post
The Nerd bikes are all about fun - light, efficient and strong.
The philosophy behind the development of these frames was to keep things as simple as possible and provide great price, performance and reliability. And indeed - all the models in the range received stellar grades from our development team and test riders. The range includes the Nerd Lite - an aggressive 29” new-school trail bike with 120mm frame travel and modern geometry. On the other side of the spectrum you will find the Nerd HD - a long travel machine for Enduro and bike parks with a unique 29” front and 27.5” rear wheel setup.
