Cale Hardtail by Bombtrack
The CALE comes with a contemporary trail geometry featuring a long reach and moderate stack means it is easy on the long-haul, yet fun when the terrain kicks off. Using experience gained building our Beyond+ models, it’s a vehicle for exploring the most technical routes. An MRP Ribbon suspension fork stops the bike from getting thrown about to increase control, a quality furthered by its huge 800mm wide bars.
The ability to slam the saddle out of the way courtesy of the KS E30i dropper seatpost, ultra-wide WTB Vigilante TCS tyres, and a mountain-shrinking 10-50t cassette make this all the bike most riders will ever need. Of course, the CALE wouldn’t be a Bombtrack if it wasn’t ready for adventure too. Triple cage mounts plus the ability to fit a rear rack mean it’s possible to ride into remote locations, drop the bags, and have some fun exploring new trails.
