Mission 3


Mission 3

The Mission is an incredibly versatile, nimble, efficient and stable all-mountain bike with six silky-smooth inches of terrain-initiated travel. It is a true all-mountain bike with no bias for the type of mountain riding it does nor for the direction it goes. Its efficient Knuckle Box suspension design coupled to a Fox shock allows it to climb like a goat and descend with the same confidence and stability as its six inches of travel come to life. Its extremely low center of gravity makes it very stable. Whether it’s creeping through the most technical section on the trail, climbing, or railing wide-open through flowy single track – the Mission is one bike that truly does it all.

The Mission is a three bike series that are all built on the same lightweight, efficient, and torsionally rigid frame platform. They all suit your all-mountain riding needs; find the one that also suits your budget and let the good times roll.

The bike that can effectively be ridden on the whole mountain, and that effectively turned the mountain biking world upside down last year, has been refined for 2008. The new Mission 3 is outfitted with Shimano’s completely redesigned Deore XT components, including the super crisp-shifting two-way release shifters, the revolutionary sleek new Shadow rear derailleur, and their High Power hydraulic disc brakes.
