Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Decked out with 150 mm of front and 140 mm rear FOX Performance suspension package, you'll be ready to float through the chunder, while carbon wheels keep tracking precise through rowdy terrain.

  • It's ready to rip with lightweight carbon wheels that easily tackle rough-terrain and hold their line when things get rowdy
  • In-frame storage makes it easy to bring along all your essentials, while keeping your set-up streamlined and sleek
  • With the adjustable angle headset (angled cups sold separately) and Mino Link, you can choose from six different geometry configurations
