Race geometry
If you’re looking for a relaxed upright ride — this isn’t it. The Duke 1 is designed with aggressive race geometry for maximum speed and control. The longer front center and lower cockpit put you in a stretched and forward-leaning position, while a shorter rear triangle keeps the bike nimble in technical sections. The frame also features fully integrated cable routing and comes equipped with a dropper post for optimal performance on descents.
A RockShox masterpiece
The SID line represents the pinnacle of RockShox’s XC suspension. The SID SL Select+ fork with 32 mm stanchions and 100 mm of travel delivers a perfect blend of stiffness, low weight, and precision — ready to perform at the highest level of racing.
Shimano SLX / XT drivetrain and brakes
Shifting is handled by Shimano SLX with a 12-speed 10–51T cassette and a 34T chainring up front — the ideal combo for steep climbs and fast rolling terrain. Braking is handled by Shimano XT, known for its sharp modulation and power in aggressive descents.
Wheels made for XC and marathons
The Fulcrum Red Zone 500 wheels were built specifically for cross-country and marathon use. Wider rims allow for lower tire pressures, boosting traction and control in rough conditions. They're wrapped in fast-rolling Continental Race King 2.2” tires — a proven setup for speed and precision.
