Competition drives innovation, and as cross-country athletes and course designers push the boundaries of lightweight components, 32 Step-Cast Performance rises to meet the demand. The crown is designed to increase stiffness to the same level as the trail-proven 34. The distinct shape of the Step-Cast chassis uses a narrow stance to save weight and the step design makes room for the spokes and brake rotor.

• GRIP Push-Lock damper features 3-position settings for easy set up and firm mode for pedaling efficiency (Remote sold separately)
• The rear arch matrix was generatively designed to increase stiffness by 40% while minimizing weight
• Premium 7000 series aluminum crown supports angled upper tubes, rathan than relying on extra material to achieve overall rake and steering stiffness
• Kabolt SL thru-axle drops an additional 12g over the standard Kabolt axle by eliminating the weight of an axle nut and decreasing the flange diameter
• Fitted with the proven and reliable FLOAT EVOL air spring
• Black anodized upper tubes for added durability
