27.5-Inch Plus Wheel

There are many ways to tackle tough terrain. You can, for instance, add lots of suspension travel to a bike. There's nothing wrong with that approach, but the Catch 2 takes a different tack. By combining our brisk-pedaling Level Link suspension with modern geometry and wide, plus-size tires, we've created a bike that possesses the playful personality of a sporty, mid-travel bike with the traction and control of a bike that packs much more suspension travel. The Catch's aluminum frame features carefully hydroformed tubes for reliable durability and light weight. This top-tier Catch also wears an equally impressive component mix that includes a Shimano SLX 1x12 drivetrain paired with Shimano cranks, a Fox Rhythm 34 suspension fork, Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes, and a KS E30i dropper post. Sand, mud, rock gardens, kitty litter over hardpack... the Catch is a blast when exploring the trails less traveled.

"Adventure bikes" are often plodding beasts of burden that sacrifice thrills in the pursuit of extra stability. Well, where's the adventure in that? We went a different route entirely. By adding 2.8-inch-wide, plus-size tires to our Level Link suspension, we've created a bike that absolutely rips on tight trails, but does so with the extra grip and control of a plus-size bike. Voilà—adventure made awesome. We gave the Catch a slack-but-not-too-slack front end. We wanted control on fast descents, but we weren't willing to give up maneuverability on tight trails. A SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain gives you the gearing to tackle any terrain, and TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes bring this machine to a tidy stop. If you're looking to tackle rough terrain and want the ultimate in control without sacrificing the thrill of riding, the Catch is your bike.
