Overview

Blackthorn 125 C GX Transmission is part playful, part precision. Its stiff carbon frame keeps you on-track through techy sections, and our trail geometry strikes a balance of composure on descents and pedaling comfort on climbs.

125mm of Split Pivot rear suspension pushes you to push your limits, with excellent pedaling efficiency, a supportive ride, and active performance even while braking so you don’t lose your line on a choppy descent. Paired with a 140mm Fox 34 Performance Elite fork, it has the travel to progress to some stouter lines.

Blackthorn also puts bigger trail days in reach with dedicated space for two bottles, your repair kit, and a top tube bag or computer mount — leave the hip pack at home. Topping it all off is SRAM’s GX Transmission drivetrain, a stalwart selection for its dead-accurate electronic shifting and bring-it-on durability.

Blackthorn’s ability to both thread the needle and cut loose make it one of the best all-around mountain bike options out there — riding is believing.
