Named after a local alpine epic, this bike is LOTS of fun. Respectably equipped with a RockShox fork, Deore drivetrain, dropper post, 4-piston brakes, and DH-worthy Maxxis Minion tires, the LOTS is ready to hit the trails. The 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain has enough mechanical advantage to make even the steepest climbs a little less miserable. Powerful 4-piston Shimano brakes offer more than 20% more stopping power than 2-piston calipers, so you can keep your velocity exactly where you want it. The long, slack, UDH-compatible frame has plenty of mounting points for bottles, bags, and other bikepacking musts. So whether you’re headed to Whistler to ride Lord of the Squirrels (LOTS) or headed to your local trails, you won’t be under-biked.
