Product Details

Playful handling, climbing efficiency, and durable design— the Camber 650b has it all. It blends all of the trail bike characteristics that you want with the XC climbing prowess that you need. This is achieved by thoughtfully combining our M5 alloy Trail Chassis with a Camber FSR rear end. The combination results in blending light weight, rigidity, and durability in one package. At both ends of the bike, you'll find a little extra travel to deliver 130mm of plush suspension—all without going overboard on big hit capability. This means that you don't have to sacrifice efficiency, weight, or sheer speed to ride how you want. And with our Trail 650b Geometry and lightweight, stiff, and smooth Concentric Pivot at the rear, we can guarantee it. For the build, we selected components that focus on strength and performance, like a custom SRAM double-ring crankset and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. It's the only trail bike you'll ever need.

A 650bx2.3" Purgatory Control tire at the front and a 2.3" Ground Control tire at the rear work in tandem to provide remarkable traction, speed, and cut-resistance.
Connected with our FSR Concentric Linkage, a Custom X-Fusion 02 Pro RL rear shock provides 130mm of responsive travel, rebound adjust for fine-tuned performance, and a lockout for maximum efficiency on climbs.
Tektro Gemini Comp hydraulic disc brakes put out plenty of stopping power and intuitive modulation, all while retaining a comfortable, ergonomic lever design
M5 alloy Trail Chassis w/ Camber FSR rear end has been paired with our Trail 650b Geometry to form a bike that's playful, energetic, and remarkably efficient. It also features our Taco Blade technology for the shortest, most nimble rear end possible, and internal shift cable routing to make clean lines and reliable shifting through any condition.
The RockShox Recon Silver 650b features 130mm of plush, predictable travel, plus stiff 32mm stanchions and a PopLoc remote lockout for the climbs.

my first and probably last mtb i will every buy!!!

I picked this up from my local bike shop for a nice cool 1900 plus tax, while the travel isn't anything compared to some crazy expensive pure downhill bikes the suspension still eats up everything I throw at it. my first trip with it was up to snow summit for the day and I was pretty much only on their pro line and it ate it up perfectly, now I use it on my local track filled with rock gardens, 6-8ft drops, 20ft jumps, and man does this thing perform, what an absolutely beautiful machine. when I lock out the suspension you would think that you were riding a hardtail as the front suspension does what it is supposed to and I don't experience any sort of pogo-ing what so ever, for an entry-level full suspension bike you feel like you're riding a professionally maintained bike.
