Climb Max  

"After much testing of different bikes on the market, I decided that the Ethos offered an elegant engineering solution without compromising efficiency and weight. A perfect 24 hour racing machine."

Strong lightweight frame build, 4.5" of rear wheel travel

With a strong, lightweight frame build and 4.5" of rear wheel travel, you'll be able to race the whippets up the hills and motor past them on the descents.

With our patented rear suspension technology, all your energies will be maximised for forward motion. This isn't marketing hype…it works!

Australia's leading mountain bike endurance rider Richard Bontjer recently won the prestigious 2001 Mont 24hr challenge aboard his Ethos Climb-Max!

Richard tested a number of other XC dual suspension bikes he considered light and efficient for racing 24 hours and reliable enough for thousands of kilometres of training...our Climb-Max won hands down!

See what leading mountain bike magazines had to say about the Ethos design.
