Overview
The Rustler Deore is a 27.5 mountain bike that likes to get playful on the trail. The agile geometry and 27.5 wheels make it easier to hit those rock booters, add your flair to jumps and drops, and jib wherever inspiration strikes.
With Split Pivot suspension design, Rustler’s 130 mm of rear travel stays active for superb traction while accelerating, braking, and climbing, with plenty of supple small-bump compliance and support on bigger hits. Shimano’s Deore drivetrain is a long-running favorite, with 12 speeds on tap and plenty of gear range. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure a quick stop when it matters. Accommodations for a full-size water bottle and top tube mounts let you spend more time riding.
