The pANTher is our 650b Long Travel Hard Tail. At the front end, 150mm forks absorb most of what the trail throws at you. The combination of a slacker head tube angle, short chain stays and a short stem makes it agile and confidence inspiring on the downhills. While the rigid rear-end means you need to be a bit picky in choosing your lines going down. The top tube is lowered to maximise stand-over height.
