Overview
Faster, farther, more efficient: that’s the Spearfish ethos. Our endurance XC mountain bike is built with our all-new Deluxe carbon construction option that’s more than 250 grams lighter than our standard carbon offering. This stiff, lightweight carbon frame translates more of your pedal power into propulsion and rewards you with responsive handling. 120mm of Split Pivot rear suspension travel provides supreme pedaling efficiency and active traction throughout its travel. A 120mm Fox 34 SL Performance Elite GRIP X fork delivers 120mm of front suspension travel to keep you in control over rugged tracks.
Convenient cargo mounts let you adapt your loadout for casual trail rides with friends or can’t-stop FKT attempts. Carry two bottles (or up to three on MD–XL frames), your repair kit, and accessories like our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or a K-Edge computer mount — all on your frame. The SRAM GX Transmission groupset combines the precision and speed of electronic shifting with the durability of SRAM’s Full Mount derailleur design for a system that’s more hurry, less worry.
Spearfish C DLX GX Transmission is the perfect endurance and XC mountain bike for chasing your next monumental Adventure by Bike.
