Developed for big hitters and gravity hogs

The Force owns every line on the mountain. 

Rolling on 29" wheels for flat out speed in the biggest terrain, the Force becomes a KOM-smashing, podium-grabbing adrenaline-junkie between the tape. A well-thought out mid-pivot and high chainline generates a rearward axle path through the shocks stroke - giving the rear wheel the ability to get up and over obstacles without hanging up and huge levels of confidence-inspiring traction when you're flat out. 

Generous reach and a steep seat-tube angle, as well as the aforementioned abundance of traction make light work of the climbs, whether you're winching up a fire road or deep in techy, rooty woods.

From The Manufacturer:

Take on the wildest tracks with the Force Elite, our most accessible long-travel carbon mountain bike. Featuring our World Cup-winning, Idler-enhanced LTS system and longer, lower geometry, this do-it-all machine tames the trails and rolls with confidence—whether you choose to earn your turns or not. Its predictable and precise handling is met with a built-to-shred package that includes RockShox suspension, SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain and integrated frame accessories for a ride that’s unquestionably faster, smoother and sleeker than ever before.
