What looks like a standard XC bike at first glance is actually something entirely different: the Synonym’s geometry is a world apart from anything else currently on the market. Thanks to its enormous reach and steep seatpost angle, the bike is a better choice than any other XC bike - whether riding downhill, uphill, or on flat terrain. The Synonym was designed from the ground up and is a compelling game-changer in the XC/lightweight trail segment.

The Synonym’s RC line is designed for all XC races and marathons. The focus here is primarily on efficiency and weight. Equipped with a flat bar, lightweight XC tires, and 100mm of travel front and rear, the Synonym RC 2 offers enough stability even on fast downhill trails and is the ideal daily trail companion.
