You know that saying, ‘power is nothing without control?’ Well, that’s why we gave the Aim SLX 100mm of smooth, RockShox-flavoured bump-swallowing travel – with lockout. Combined with strong hydraulic disc brakes, tapered head tube and tenaciously grippy 2.25in tyres, it’s the best way of ensuring you’re always in full control, wherever your curiosity takes you. Wide-range 2×9 gears put the ideal ratio for any route at your fingertips, and the frame’s even ready for a future dropper post upgrade. What’s holding you back?
