The most affordable of the Saguaro family. The Saguaro 3 features the same top-shelf aluminum frame set as levels 1 and 2. We dialled back the spec a little to bring the cost down, but there's no compromise in performance: RockShox TK35 140mm travel fork, Shimano Cues 11-speed gearing, WTB rims, sealed hubs, tubeless tyres, and a TranzX dropper post — everything to handle business in style.

The Saguaro Family: Simple, slack and full-on fun. The Saguaro 29-inch hardtail is purpose-built to be the most versatile bike in your quiver. Make no mistake, this hardcore hardtail is no XC bike. With an aggressive geometry and slack head angle that is more inclined to hauling down hills than pedalling up them, the Saguaro is stretched out in the front and shortened up in the back for a stable ride at speed.

As one of our testers put it: "It makes mellow trails more fun". Hit the jumps, hammer the single track and rip the turns. The Saguaro is everything you need, and nothing you don't.
