Overview
The Rangefinder CUES 10 is a hardtail trail bike that welcomes you to the world of mountain biking with a responsive, durable aluminum frame and geometry that puts you in a confident position for navigating the ups and downs of your local trails. Cargo mounts on the frame let you load up plenty of water, snacks, tools, and other ride essentials so you can spend more time riding or even explore bikepacking.
Rangefinder’s 120mm-travel fork absorbs trail bumps for a more comfortable, controlled ride, and 29 x 2.4″ tires grant you the traction you’ll want for rock gardens, loose surfaces, and other terrain. A Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain is simple and reliable, with a wide-range cassette for easier climbing.
