Zero-compromise performance demands zero-compromise design. The new Phenix C:68X SLT's premium carbon construction gives it the pace and ride comfort you need to ride at your best, whilst wish-list components leave nothing on the table in your quest for speed.


Power and control – they're the keys to unlocking speed. With the Phenix C:68X SLT's lightweight and comfortable one-piece bar/stem combo, you've everything you need at your fingertips. Sram's new XX SL Eagle Transmission groupset serves up fast, ultra-precise electronic shifts over a huge gear range. Grippy Schwalbe 2.25in tyres, ultralight Schwalbe Aerothan tubes and light, stiff and strong Newmen Phase 30 wheels deliver your power to the trail, whilst a Fox Float 32 Factory SC fork with reverse arch keeps everything planted and pointing in the right direction. And, to make sure you can maintain speed into every corner, we fitted Magura's powerful MT8 SL brakes with a 180mm rotor up front.

Frame description

We know a thing or two about making fast cross-country race frames, but the new Phenix C:68X moves the bar even higher. How? For starters, we used our premium C:68X® carbon for the ultimate in low weight, high strength and ride comfort. We redesigned the seat tube junction to incorporate an integrated seat clamp. It's a small touch, but – along with internal cable routing – it complements the frame's clean aesthetic and elegant, organic lines. And there's an adjustable angle headset, so you can tweak your bike's handling to suit your own taste.
