Overview
Overview
Blackthorn 145 C GX Transmission is the tool of choice for all-mountain adventures. The combo of a carbon frame, Split Pivot suspension, and our all-mountain geometry makes for a comfortable, confident ride both up and down the mountain.
145mm of Split Pivot suspension travel delivers superb small-bump compliance, remarkable climbing ability, and reliable traction even while braking. Paired with a Fox 36 Performance Elite 160mm fork, it’s a platform well-suited to the ups and downs of epic all-mountain rides. Blackthorn’s cargo capacity adds to its all-day capability, with space for two bottles, your tube and multitool, and mounts for our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or a K-Edge computer mount.
The SRAM GX Transmission drivetrain strikes a perfect balance with the precision and speed of electronic shifting and the durability of SRAM’s Full Mount derailleur design.
