The Embolden is built for riders who want to spend more time riding and less time worrying about their bike. Developed using insights from women riders, its geometry and suspension balance stability, control, and efficiency to create a ride that feels intuitive on the trail. With a lightweight aluminium frame, FlexPoint suspension, and modern trail geometry, Embolden builds confidence as riders move from forest paths to proper singletrack.
Embolden’s modern trail geometry creates a balanced, confidence-inspiring ride, while a size-specific wheel strategy ensures every rider gets the handling that works best for them. Mixed wheels on XS and S frames improve manoeuvrability and fit, while dual 29-inch wheels on M roll smoothly over trail obstacles and maintain momentum. A dropper seatpost lets you quickly lower the saddle for descents and technical sections, helping you stay comfortable and in control as the trail gets more exciting.
The lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminium frame keeps Embolden efficient on climbs and durable for everyday trail adventures. Smart details like a semi-integrated shock design, easy to set up suspension guide on the fork, improved cable routing, and a heavy-duty moulded chainstay protector help keep maintenance simple and the bike running quietly. With reliable components and a clean, practical design, Embolden is built to spend more time out on the trail—and less time in the garage.
FlexPoint rear suspension delivers smooth, predictable control through 130mm of rear-wheel travel, paired with 140mm of front suspension for confident capability on modern trails. The system maintains traction over roots, rocks, and technical terrain while providing a supportive, stable ride feel as trail conditions change.
