We’ve reimagined our classic Primer to deliver the ultimate trail bike for 2025. Striking the perfect balance between stiffness and compliance is a craft we’ve mastered, optimizing the carbon lay-up to increase lateral stiffness around the bottom bracket while maintaining vertical compliance for a smoother, more controlled ride. The updated geometry features a steeper seat tube angle and longer reach, aligning with modern trail standards. We’ve also enhanced the rear triangle for UDH and T-Type compatibility. To complete the package, we partnered with FOX to custom-tune the rear shock, ensuring seamless integration with our JS Tuned Suspension Design. Paired with 150mm front travel and 140mm rear, the Primer is ready to tackle any trail with confidence and precision.
