KTM Lycan 273 SE1 $3,799
It seems that mid-travel trail bikes are all the rage at the moment, combining low weight and efficient pedalling with enough fun-factor rolled in to make them a blast to ride on trails that don’t remand masses of travel. With 125mm of travel, 27.5 wheels, short 433mm chainstays and a 67-degree head angle, the Lycan 273 SE1 provides a fast and engaging ride. The ‘Straight Line’ suspension system keeps the frame simple and light, as does the Shimano SLX/XT 1X11 drivetrain. It’s a bike that’s virtually guaranteed to leave you with a post-ride grin!
Merida One-Forty 500 $2,499
Get rowdy on the trail with the One-Forty; Merida’s premium hydroformed alloy all-mountain platform. As the name suggests it delivers 140mm of travel, which is provided by their efficient pedalling VPK suspension system.

Salted Popcorn Enduro $3,299
For many fatbikes are the ultimate adventure machine, and with the Aussie designed Popcorn Enduro in your quiver, you won’t be limited by the trail anymore.
