The Superior XF TR series showcases the best in modern trail bike design. Built to excel on various terrains, from smooth singletracks to challenging technical descents, these bikes offer a perfect mix of efficiency and capability. With a robust yet lightweight frame, the XF TR series ensures durability without compromising agility. Its advanced suspension system provides a smooth and controlled ride, adapting effortlessly to different trail conditions.
The XF TR's geometry has been meticulously crafted to achieve an optimal balance of stability and agility:
- Head Angle: 66° for confident descending and precise steering
- Chainstay Length: 428mm for responsive handling and manoeuvrability
- Frame Reach: Extended for improved stability and climbing ergonomics
This geometric configuration results in a bicycle that performs admirably across a wide spectrum of trail conditions.
The XF TR's suspension design represents a sophisticated approach to balancing pedalling efficiency with descent capabilities:
- Initial Stroke Sensitivity: Enhanced small bump compliance for improved traction and comfort
- Mid-Stroke Support: Optimised for stability during cornering and undulating terrain
- End-Stroke Progression: Tuned to resist bottom-out on significant impacts
This kinematic profile ensures that the suspension system responds appropriately to various trail inputs, maintaining control and efficiency throughout the ride.
