A good allrounder. Light enough for long days on the trail but burly enough for a park day
9. What is your favourite component or part of your bike and why?
The ARC 31 carbon rims with the orange Vault hubs because they look 🤮 and they make the bike lighter and sound sweet!

I changed all the spec on the bike, so the bike has way more style than I do. I don't have much of a riding style.
