Boasting more travel than the previous model and a totally revamped frame, the updated Insurgent is a long-travel, 27. 5-wheeled beast of a bike that can still be pedaled as your daily driver. It's built to be fun, fast, and functional with its trail-taming DELTA suspension and progressive geometry numbers, and a new carbon frame that's stiffer and more durable than the last. Approaching the trail with a freeride mentality and confidence-inspiring suspension, we're hitting every drop, root, gap, and transfer we see along the way. Small features like the integrated chain guide, internal routing, and plenty of rubber protection keep the Insurgent running quiet and smooth season after season. Geometry on The Insurgent is what we'd expect from a modern enduro/trail bike, with a slacked-out head tube, steep seat tube, long reach, and a long wheelbase it checks all the boxes for smashing trail.

The slack head-angle invites us to send it deep while the steep seat-tube angle makes grinding up fire roads less of a chore. The modern 480mm reach (size large) makes this bike stable in high-speed straights, while uber-short chainstays let us change our line on command and make wheelies and manuals easier than ever. Spec on the Insurgent mirrors how our local pros would build up a burly bike park steed. Fitted with a RockShox Super Deluxe coil shock and a 180mm travel RockShox Zeb fork, the suspension is built to tackle chunder and send it deep on drops and gaps. Fitted with Industry Nine Enduro S wheels with quick-engaging Hydra hubs, these capable wheels fit high-volume rubber and offer some of the best hub performance on the market. Dropper duties are taken care of by the revered Bike Yoke Revive, so we're ge...
