The same as the Super Shuttle, just a beefier build up for the aggressive AM rider. It has slightly more relaxed angles and more travel up front using our new 170mm Double Agent TA with a 20mm thru axle, a bash guard and a heavy-duty wheel and tire set.

Strengths:
Very good balanced geometrie with the unique Bionicon System for Up- and Downhill.
Good speced, lot of travel and very light (only 15.8kg with pedals and usefull tires)
In downhill mode you have a very flat steering angle, it helps for highspeed and steep trails.
Weaknesses:
the original Schwalbe tires sucks....!
Similar Products Used:
Rocky Mountain Slayer Cult, Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC, Kona CoilAir,
Bike Setup:
almost original with Formula ORO K18, SRAM X9, Truvativ Stylo cranks and parts, Alexrims on DT hubs
I've upgraded to X9 shifters and KMC chain, changed the tires and put some nice crankbrothers Mallet on
Bottom Line:
A great bike for freeriders not only using the shuttle for uphill.
