Viathon Bicycles (United States) - Press Release: The M.1 29er hardtail is the new standard in mountain biking: lightweight carbon frame for explosive speed, trail-confidence courtesy of the modern geometry, and still attainably priced.

Feathery and supercharged, the M.1 is fast enough for any dirt track. But forget the idea that front-suspension bikes are only for racing. With modern trail geometry, a 120mm fork, dropper post compatibility, and clearance for 2.4-inch tires that won’t let go, this bike is as capable as it is blazing. And with the efficiencies and expertise amassed over a generation of building premium carbon fiber frames, our team is able to pull all this off at a cost less than you’d expect.

The M.1. You’ve always wanted to master every trail. Now you can.

M.1 - XX1 Eagle:

One of the lightest, fastest mountain race machines that money can buy, the top-line M.1 delivers a SRAM XX1 Eagle drivetrain for race-proven, single-ring shifting performance. With featherweight Stan’s Crest CB7 carbon wheels and a carbon cockpit, few bikes carve up singletrack as effortlessly as the M.1 XX1.

Key Features:

• 1,035-gram size M frame, with derailleur and water bottle mounting hardware
• 29-inch wheels offer speed, with clearance for up to 2.4” tires
• Confident handling thanks to a 120mm RockShox SID RLC fork, and modern long and slack trail geometry

Additional Features:

• Rubberized slap guards on chain stay and down tube for added protection
