If you only could have one bike…The ML8 is a paradigm shifter. On one hand you get 6.5” of super plush travel, built into a stout monocoque frame. On the other hand you get a bike that’s as efficient and nimble as any cross-country bike out there. And when you finish building out your own, you’ll have no problem staying under 30 pounds! Until now, all those things just didn’t come on one bike.
The ML8 is the frame of choice for Maverick professional Mike West. He relies on the ML8’s great climbing, descending and all around handling capabilities to excel in demanding Super D events like the Downieville Classic and the Ashland 12 Mile.
Intended use*: Aggressive trail bike / All Mountain / Super D
