2018 Redpoint NX1

The concentric rear axle pivot in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in several performance gains: Exceptional bump compliance / Maximum traction / Incredible pedaling efficiency / Predictable braking / Improved frame geometry due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking

150mm of Split Pivot® rear wheel travel is tuned with a more progressive feel than our other bikes. This makes for a bike that climbs and pedals more efficiently than the travel might suggest, and offers an increased amount of support in the mid-stroke and end-stroke ramp-up for aggressive riders that are looking to charge hard in big terrain without over-riding the suspension. The bike is spec’d with a 150mm fork, but can also be paired with a 160mm fork if desired.

Redpoint is designed for use with 27.5 x 2.3–2.5" wheels and tires, but thanks to the use of BOOST-148 rear spacing, BOOST-148 drivetrain components, and compatibility with 110mm-spaced 27.5" (42–44mm offset) forks, the Redpoint frame is also compatible with 26+ (26 x 3.0" tires on 45–50mm wide rims)

Low-slung with short 430mm chainstays, Redpoint is agile in tight terrain and rails through corners. A 66.4° head angle is just right; slack enough to the take full advantage of the bike's travel and charge the descents, but also allows for stable and well-mannered bike on the climbs. The Redpoint is a modern-day all-rounder capable of handling any trail on the mountain. The front-end trail of the Redpoint is designed around standard 42-44mm fork offset 27.5" forks

148 x 12mm rear spacing paired with a standard width bottom bracket results in the most tire clearance possible with the narrowest crank q-factor, and also results in a stiffer and stronger rear wheel

Redpoint is designed for a modern trail fit. This means a short stem, wider bar, and longer effective toptube are used to place the rider in the same position they are familiar with on their older trail bike. This results in a more precise steering motion due to the shorter stem, lots of front wheel control with the wide bar, and plenty of front-center length and cockpit room for fore-aft body movement when things get rowdy. Each frame size is designed around a 50mm stem and wide bar. To maintain the correct hand position relative to the pedals and saddle, the Redpoint has a longer horizontal toptube. No more need to size up when selecting a frame size with the intent of running 40-60mm stems. We built it in for you!

Top-shelf, double and triple-butted, heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum tubing is used throughout the frame. This 6000-series aluminum has better strength and fatigue characteristics than 6061 and 7000-series aluminums, allowing for a stronger and lighter overall frame. Additionally, the tubing is strategically shaped and formed for additional stiffness and strength optimization in key stress areas

Offers increased rear end stiffness and reduced weight over aluminum stays

Front triangle is capable of fitting a full-size (28 oz) water bottle

Compatible with all 1x and 2x BOOST mountain cranks, both GXP and 24mm spindle types. ISCG05 tabs for chainguide mounting to increase chain security
