Rustler in Action

Frame Protection
Worry less about bike damage. Our frames and forks are designed and built to hold up to the rugged adventures you put them through.
On-Bike Storage
Carry more on your bike and less on your body. Our frames and forks feature mounts for extra bottles, repair kits, camping gear, and ride accessories.
Suspension Kinematics
Enjoy a familiar suspension feel. Our kinematics are tuned for each bike’s purpose but share core priorities across the entire line up.
Flip Chip
Make easy ride adjustments. Our flip chips alter bottom bracket height and headtube angle to suit rider preference, terrain or wheel size.
Split Pivot Suspension System
Ride up and downhill efficiently. Our suspension system isolates pedaling forces from braking forces, so we can tune for both independently.

What's In A Name?

Rustler is a direct descendant of Pony Rustler, our former 27.5 Plus full-suspension trail bike; its evolution warranted a more-focused name. Like the name inspiration behind Horsethief, “Rustler” is the sound of a quick and graceful getaway.
