Description

The Karate Monkey offers a resilient and dynamic ride across a variety of challenging terrains. Its frame serves as a versatile platform, accommodating a wide range of setups to match your riding preferences. According to our calculations (performed by our trusty machine, Thor), the Karate Monkey can be configured in approximately 487 different ways, allowing for extensive customization.

Initially designed as a 29er, the Karate Monkey played a key role in popularizing the 29-inch wheel size. The latest version maintains its exceptional performance as a 29er while also being adaptable to 27.5+ wheels. This dual capability lets you choose between the larger 29-inch wheels for a more traditional ride or the 27.5+ wheels for enhanced traction and stability, depending on your trail needs.

Features:

  • Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles, suspension corrected fork
  • Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though)
  • Clearance for 29” x 2.5” or 27.5” x 3” tires

 

Specification:

  • Frame: Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, trumpet flared tubes, TIG welded, E.D. coated
  • Fork: RockShox 35 Gold RL, 15 x 110mm, 140mm travel
