The 29er mountain bike came from the desire of KirkLee wanting to design a bike that is beautiful and with every piece made almost exclusively in Austin, Texas. A mountain bike that has all the passion of our road frames and then some. It is fast and climbs with precision. It feels like you are cheating. Did we mention it is fast? As seen here the complete bike (21″) is 18.8 lbs and the frame is 1200 grams.

A lot of effort goes into each 29er frame starting with:

  • Bearing races co-molded in the head tube for the 1.5″ steer tube Lefty fork
  • Custom laid top and down tubes
  • Optional ISP, which can be converted to a 31.6 seat mast
  • 73mm PF-30 bottom bracket
  • Sculpted individual chain and seat stays molded in house
  • Billet 6061 drop outs, anodized your choice of colors
  • Internally drilled for Di2/EPS
  • Custom MTB laminates over all tube junctions
