    Product Details

     

    The Hook EXT C comes complete with a carbon frame and V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts for speedier off-road raids. Sram provide the bike’s 10 – 42T XD cassette for a great range of gears, so you can keep the pace high over whichever surface you decide to tear across. Our friends at Hunt handle the hoops, providing the bike with a tubeless-ready Adventure Sport 27.5’’ wheelset. Finished with head-turning tan-wall WTB Venture tyres, onlookers will have to be quick if they want to catch a glimpse as you fly through the undergrowth. It comes in this year’s glossy metallic black colourway, too.
