Solid Shimano specifications mean reliability and serviceability is as good as it gets. The frames are CEN-rated Reynolds 520 Cr-Mo to ensure long-term durability for 100-130mm forks, even under the most demanding riding conditions. Our Latitude 00 and 10 mountain have both won group-tests and ‘bike of the year’ commendations in the mountain bike press , showing that the desirable ride feel of steel doesn’t always mean high prices. It also shows that mid-range bikes can have high-specification, future-proof and upgradeable frames - a long-term trail riding affair starts here.
