This limited edition DVO Recluse 275 isn't shy about chomping down on steep, gnarly, North Shore-esque terrain. A head tube angle of 66 degrees makes steep, technical descents feel solid and fun. The secret to its eagerness lies in the link system that gives it compact chainstays and a shortened wheelbase. Expect efficient, smooth climbing, confident ripping and subtle arcing through corners. The DVO build isn't just about the suspension, it uses high-end components to make a reliable, performance machine. SRAM's Eagle 12-speed drivetrain uses their top of the line X01 shifter and rear-derailleur to ensure perfect shifts every time. The Magura MT Trail brakes uses 4 piston in the front and 2 piston calipers in the rear with 180mm rotors to keep things under control. The light, strong SRAM X01 crank uses its 34T chainring to power the massive 10-50T cassette.
