There's a trail you ride not too far from your house. It's close enough that you ride it pretty regularly yet far enough away that you feel like you're escaping from the ‘burbs. You really like this trail because it's got good variety: sweet singletrack, rolling climbs, challenging descents, and a few small jumps here and there. But this isn't your favorite trail.

What keeps this trail from being elevated to "favorite" status? Just one thing: that section. The one with all the roots and rocks.

Time after time, you have rolled up to that section of trail only to loose your nerve and dismount. Other times, you attack it with fervor…only to crash on the rocks below. Either way, you just haven't been able to clear it.

Today, however, will be different. Armed with a longer-travel bike (6.3 inches, to be exact), you will conquer "that section" of trail. You fly through the first few feet with no problem; by this point, you have usually dismounted to begin the "walk of shame". Your confidence builds as the rocks get bigger and the roots get twistier…and you float right over it all. Before you know it, "that section" is behind you; smiling from ear-to-ear, you pedal on towards the climb ahead of you. Congratulations. You have a new favorite trail.

Whatever the trail throws at you, you can retaliate with a Xeon. With 160mm of all-mountain, terrain-gobbling travel driven by our patented Virtual Link suspension technology, you'll find yourself attacking sections of trail that once made you cower. It's time to make every trail your favorite trail.
