If pumping into berms and hucking off drops brings a smile to your face, this well specced full-suspension bike is worth a look. Designed to meet the needs of the modern trail rider, the Siskiu T8 doesn't shy away from the gnar. Outfitted with Fox suspension both front and rear, this bike stays glued to the ground through rollers and techie rock gardens. The SLX drivetrain enjoys many of the benefits seen on its XT sibling – like a rear derailleur clutch and 2-way release shifters – but comes in at a fraction of the cost and weight. Powerful 4-piston brakes from Tektro keep your velocity exactly where you want it, so those screaming descents don't have to be so screaming. And, dialed in geometry delivers a natural riding position that feels great in the climbs, and is confidence inspiring in the descents.
