Trail-Tuned Geometry

With the goal of maximizing good times on trail; Sensor’s geometry inspires riders to push their fun to a whole new level. It’s 65 degree headtube angle keeps it poised on the descents and the steep 77 degree seattube angle makes climbing a breeze.

System Optimized

Touting a 600g weight reduction via an all-new carbon front triangle, the addition of a carbon seat stay, and some seriously smart design, Sensor sheds weight but makes sure it’ll handle any trail. Featuring Tube-in-tube cable routing, Sensor keeps the lines clean while making sure maintenance is quick and easy.

LTS Suspension

Linkage Tuned Suspension provides a consistent and efficient suspension platform. The 4-bar system is designed to be a highly tunable suspension platform that maintains ground hugging traction even under heavy braking.
