Details

Horsethief Carbon SLX is built to deliver trail thrills no matter where you ride it. The Split Pivot rear suspension system increases the pedaling and braking efficiency of the 120mm of rear suspension travel, and the 140mm fork grants confidence on tricky trail sections. Shimano’s time-tested SLX components shift and stop with reliable precision. Horsethief is built on versatility, with a flip chip and the capability to run 29-inch or 27.5 plus wheels for plenty of setup options—a true renaissance bike.

Dropper posts

A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.

Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.

Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
