27 speeds let you handle any terrain as you want, whether you're romping hills, crusing easy or making serious speed across the flats. AN6 aluminum frame is double-butted (thick at the ends, narrow toward the middle) for a significant savings in weight without a reduction in strength. AN6 construction, high-end Shimano drivetrain and aggressive geometry make our Novara Ponderosa the first choice for no-holds-barred XC performance! Anatomically designed, the lightweight WTB Pure V Comp saddle offers exceptional comfort and support from a streamlined platform. Avid BB5 disc brakes and FR 5 levers provide sure stopping power and controlled deceleration no matter the terrain or weather conditions. Double-butting also improves ride quality and comfort by reducing high-frequency vibrations traveling up the frame. Hydoformed downtube is lightweight yet super strong, providing critical vertical strength at the headset and horizontal strength at the bottom bracket. Lightweight Shimano M520 pedals feature convenient, dual-sided entry and low-maintenance axles with cartridge bearings. Lightweight WTB SpeedDisc rims feature I-beam double-wall construction for strength and durability; GEAX Saguaro tires provide tenacious traction. Pondo's long top tube reduces the likelihood of wheelies during aggressive ascents; the long wheelbase adds stability and confidence to descents. RockShox Dart 2 fork meets changing needs; run it plush (80mm travel) to buffer unyielding single track or lock it down for a stiff, efficient ride. Shimano drivetrain is all performance, featuring the deluxe XT rear derailleur and snappy Deore shifters and front derailleur. Truvativ XR handlebar and stem provide excellent steering control and comfortable positioning for off-road terrain. Two-piece Truvativ Firex 3.1 crankset is strong, lightweight and easily maintained.
