Description
The SilverBack Stride Elite revolutionizes mountain biking with its cutting-edge features and performance-driven design. This 29″ powerhouse combines advanced technology with rider-focused engineering to deliver an unparalleled off-road experience.
Frame and Construction
At the heart of this trail-blazing machine lies a hydroformed 6061 aluminum frame. The custom-butted tubing ensures optimal strength-to-weight ratio, providing durability without compromising agility. A tapered headtube enhances steering precision, while full-length internal routing keeps cables tidy and protected from the elements.
Suspension and Control
Up front, the SR Suntour XCR32 Air LOR fork offers 100mm of travel. This air-sprung suspension system allows for easy adjustment to rider weight and preferences. The lockout feature enables efficient pedaling on smoother terrain, instantly transforming the bike’s character.
Drivetrain Excellence
Powering the Stride Elite is a Shimano 1×11 drivetrain. The Shimano Deore rear derailleur, featuring Shadow Plus technology with a clutch mechanism, ensures smooth and secure shifting even in rough conditions. Paired with an 11-51T cassette, this setup provides an impressive gear range for conquering both steep climbs and fast descents.
Wheels and Traction
Rolling on Surface Symmetrical double-wall alloy rims, the bike strikes a balance between strength and weight. With a 23mm internal width, these tubeless-ready wheels offer excellent support for the CST C1820 2.35″ tyres. This combination delivers superior traction and control across varied terrain.
Braking Performance
Reliable stopping power comes courtesy of Tektro MD-M275 hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes offer consistent performance in all weather conditions, inspiring confidence on technical descents and during emergency stops.
Ergonomics and Comfort
Rider comfort remains a top priority with the SilverBack Stride Elite. The Surface Ergo saddle, coupled with an alloy micro-adjust seatpost, allows for precise positioning. The alloy handlebar and stem combo provides a responsive cockpit setup, enhancing overall control and maneuverability.
Weight and Capacity
Tipping the scales at just 14.92kg (excluding pedals), this SilverBack Stride Elite mountain bike strikes an impressive balance between durability and agility. With a rider weight limit of 120kg, it caters to a wide range of enthusiasts without compromising performance.
Concluding Thoughts
From its adaptable POP geometry to its carefully selected components, every aspect of the Stride Elite screams performance. Whether you’re tackling technical singletrack or embarking on all-day epics, this mountain bike stands ready to elevate your riding experience to new heights.
