There are many changes compared to the old version of the Jekyll: the format remains 29" but now the geometry is totally renewed with the introduction of a shock-absorbing system very low down and inside the frame. Another novelty is the inclusion of an additional pulley for eliminate the kickback pedal.

GRAVITY CAVITY - The shock integrates seamlessly into the double down tube, keeping the bike's center of gravity as low as possible.

The verdict

Enduro without compromise

Perhaps the most predictable despite its thrust enduro geometries: centrality is immediately found and it drives excellently from the beginning (characteristics that I rarely found on bikes from the corners so devoted to descent). Too bad it does not excel in weight and pedaling uphill, but they are factors that move the needle of the descent even higher, so the choice is yours.



Written by

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
