Overview
You’re looking at one of the best XC bikes out there. Spearfish C DLX X0 Transmission features our extra-light carbon fiber layup for less weight but all of the ride quality. Its geometry balances efficiency for covering serious ground in an endurance event and capability for when the trail turns technical.
Our Split Pivot suspension design delivers optimized traction whether you’re climbing techy lines or braking on a steep descent. 120mm of travel front and rear keeps the ride smooth — and smooth is fast.
For longer rides that stretch into all day (and night), Spearfish has room for up to three bottles (sizes MD–XL), plus ample cargo mounts and frame bag space (including direct-mount frame bag capability). SRAM’s X0 Transmission drivetrain is as smooth and precise as they come, with lightning-fast electric shifts that always keep you in the right gear for whatever’s ahead.
