Triumph unveils 2018 mountain bike
Triumph Motorcycles has released a limited edition run of 500 high specification all-terrain bicycles, the Triumph XCX, available in January.
The mountain bike features a custom 6061 lightweight hard tail aluminum frame, in 15-, 17- or 19-inch frame sizes, with a full internal cable and hose routing, and precise handling in all conditions.
Finished in a stealth matte black and silver color scheme, the Triumph XCX mountain bike is the perfect balance of specification and style, featuring the race-proven plushness of the Rockshox XC30 suspension fork, packed full of legendary Rockshox technology and boasting an ample 100mm of travel.
Added to this comes the new Shimano M7000 SLX 11 speed drivetrain, including new Shadow RD SLX 11 speed derailleur, HG Cassette sprocket and RAPIDFIRE Plus shift lever, with integrated gear indicator for effective gear selection every time.
Combine these with the new FSA Comet Megaexo crankset and bottom bracket, and the inclusion of a KMC X11 chain, to ensure the durability of the XCX drivetrain isn’t compromised, no matter the terrain, and this really is a bike designed to be used.
Brakes are supplied courtesy of Shimano, utilising M315 hydraulic calipers front and rear with Shimano 180/160mm discs, for firm, assured stopping power.
The acclaimed 142mm WTB Volt Race saddle also ensures that riders benefit from an award winning level of comfort as part of the standard equipment.
Custom Triumph-branded Velo lock-on grips are mated to 6061 aluminium, 720mm-wide handlebars and an aluminum oversized stem for precise, comfortable control and minimal weight.
Grip is supplied by 27.5-inch Kenda Slant 6 tires, mounted onto lightweight Alex AJ2 rims with Shimano & Formula hubs, laced with stainless steel spokes, also finished in black.
