The same ground-breaking trail bike geometry as it's more expensive brethren, just paired to an all-aluminium frame and kit that delivers the performance you need, without the chunky price tag.
The ONE-FORTY 400 brings an unheard of level of climbing and descending performance into a high-value package built around our test and award-winning aluminium frame. It's got exactly the same ground-breaking geometry as its more expensive brethren, just paired with kit that delivers the performance you need, without the price tag. Dropper posts on all models, a wide-range 11-speed Shimano drivetrain and no-nonsense suspension from Marzocchi get the job done without fuss.
The test and award-winning ONE-FORTY is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. It’s the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80° seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head angle mean it’s still more than capable of ripping any descent. With our AGILOMETER sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. We’ve focussed on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, WIRE PORT cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frames have on-board tool storage and Fidlock magnetic bottle cages.

* All specifications listed are subject to change without notice. Please note that our specifications may be impacted by manufacturer component substitution changes caused by high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry. We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions.
Bike Weight: Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on frame size, finish, hardware and accessories. The most accurate way to determine any bike's weight is to have your local showroom weigh it for you.
