Overview

Let’s get down: Blackthorn 145 C X0 Transmission is our carbon all-mountain bike made to take on rowdy and rugged trails with you.

Its stiff carbon frame and WTB CZR carbon wheels make for a light, responsive ride you’ll appreciate when picking through techy terrain. Our all-mountain geometry is slack enough to make steep, techy descents feel less harrowing without sacrificing uphill pedaling comfort. 145mm of rear Split Pivot suspension travel soaks up trail impacts and serves as a perfect pedaling platform when the trail points back up. Paired with a RockShox Lyrik Ultimate 160mm fork, you’ve got enough cushion for control through drops, rock gardens, steep slabs, and more.

Blackthorn’s on-bike cargo mounts make room for two bottles plus your tube and multitool; top tube mounts accept our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or a K-Edge computer mount. SRAM’s X0 Transmission drivetrain puts laser-precise electronic shifting at your fingertips, plus a durable derailleur design that stands up to trail abuse.
