Trails await. Go ride them. Leveraging a higher-grade aluminum than its younger siblings, the Kato 7 also features improved components. The super-sensitive, buttery RockShox fork is adjustable and can be locked out for climbing or commuting. 27.5-inch wheels hit the sweet point between the fast-rolling stability of a 29er and the agility of a 26-inch bike. Shimano disc brakes provide solid stopping power and modulation when you need it, and they're reliable for all-season use. Shifting is precise thanks to Shimano's quietly excellent SLX shifters, mated to a rock-solid SLX front derailleur and sweet XT rear mech. And the burly, trail-ready rims will survive rough terrain without feeling like a set of boat anchors.
