<p>The all-rounder is back. The ONE-TWENTY 600 is the short travel trail bike that&#8217;s ready to ride to whatever you want it to. It&#8217;ll breeze down tough descents thanks to our progressive geometry and 130 mm of well-controlled travel thanks to a Marzocchi fork and shock, but it&#8217;ll still eat hills and fast singletrack for breakfast. Add in the crisp shifting of a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain plus powerful 4-piston front and 2-piston rear brakes, and it&#8217;s ready to take on anything.</p>
</div>
<div class="text_2">
<p>The ONE-TWENTY is a bike that doesn&#8217;t need to be shoehorned into a category. Short travel trail, downcountry &#8211; call it whatever you want, but this is a fun mountain bike for doing fun mountain bike things. Light enough to climb all day but planted on the descents &#8211; and the perfect balance everywhere else. Whether you&#8217;re into flowing singletrack sessions or big mileage in the mountains, the ONE-TWENTY is our do-it-all Swiss Army Knife of a bike. Our high-value, high-quality LITE aluminium frame is paired with our proven P-FLEX flexstay suspension design, keeping maintenance needs low, but performance high. We&#8217;ve also used our progressive geometry concept but tweaked it to suit a fun, short-travel machine and, thanks to the AGILOMETER sizing concept from our award-winning ONE-SIXTY and ONE-FORTY range, you can pick stable or agile handling independently of bike fit. The hardest part will be getting the smile off your face.</p>
<ul>
<li>Trail-ready LITE aluminium frame with P-FLEX technology</li>
<li>Progressive geometry and AGILOMETER sizing</li>
<li>Marzocchi Z2 fork and Marzocchi Bomber inline shock give 130 mm full sus travel</li>
<li>Wide range 12-speed Shimano drivetrain for crisp shifting</li>
<li>Shimano Deore 4-piston front and 2-piston rear hydraulic disc brakes</li>
<li>MERIDA dropper seat post</li>
