Retrospec Ascent Mountain Bike – 27.5″ – Matte Black 2021

Disc brakes

Steep downhills require responsive and reliable brakes with superb stopping power. Cruise fast and decelerate faster with Ascent’s mechanical disc brakes. And if you opt out of braking before a turn, this mountain bike’s grippy tires give you the traction (and confidence) to take on any corner.

Sleek frame & fork

Turn heads before even hitting the trailhead with Ascent’s sleek frame, stainless steel spokes and matte finish. This mostly-alloy hardtail mountain bike is lightweight and easier to maintain. What’s more, Ascent’s stiff, threadless suspension fork absorbs impact, combats torsional flex, and holds lines in the rock garden. And if you’re climbing or sprinting, easily flip the lockout lever to stop the suspension and conserve your energy for momentum.

Shimano drivetrain

Get up climbs and easily take on varying terrain whether dirt, gravel, or paved with 21 gear combinations. Plus, Ascent’s Shimano Tourney derailer with easy Rapidfire shifters offers quick, intuitive shifting at your fingertips.
