THE SNABB IS THE DREAM BIKE THAT WE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE - A MACHINE ON WHICH YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH THE GUYS ON DH RIGS IN A BIKE PARK ON ONE DAY, AND DO AN EPIC RIDE WITH YOUR MATES ON XC RIGS ON THE NEXT.
PRAISED FOR PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY, GREAT GEOMETRY AND FINE HANDLING, WE TREAT THE SNABB AS MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. WANNA HEAR SOME TECH TALK...? OK... THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF ANTI-SQUAT BUILT INTO THE HORST-LINK DESIGN - THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR USE WITH 1X DRIVETRAINS. THE SNABBS FEATURE ONE PIECE ROCKER ARM KEEPS THE ALREADY VERY RIGID REAR TRIANGLE EVEN STIFFER. IT DRIVES THE NEW GENERATION OF SHOCKS FROM SRAM WITH A TRUNION MOUNT - LONGER, BIGGER, BETTER. THE COMBINATION OF THE NEW SHOCKS AND ROCKER ARMS RESULT IN A MORE LINEAR SUSPENSION CURVE AND OVERALL SMOOTHER FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM. THE GEOMETRY IS MODERN, LOW, LONG AND SLACK. WE KNOW THAT NS BIKES CUSTOMERS ARE USUALLY TOUGH, AGGRESSIVE RIDERS AND EXPECT OUR PRODUCTS TO HOLD UP TO SEASONS OF ABUSE. THAT IS WHY THE FRAMES ARE BUILT TO DH RACING STANDARDS IN BOTH ALLOY AND CARBON VERSIONS AND RUN ON HIGH-END MAX BEARINGS FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF SMOOTH, SERVICE FREE USE.
WITH 170MM OF TRAVEL UP FRONT, BURLY TIRES AND SLACKED OUT ANGLES, THE SNABB 160 IS BASICALLY A MINI DH BIKE THAT CAN ALSO RIDE UPHILL - AND CAN DO IT VERY QUICKLY. THIS SUPER VERSATILE BIKE IS STRONG, RIGID AND RELIABLE MAKING IT THE IDEAL CHOICE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SHRED BIKE PARKS ON ONE DAY AND RIDE TRAILS ON THE NEXT.
