The same high quality frameset features on all the X-8 bikes. The custom tubing is drawn to and then profiled, butted and shaped to give what a great ride feel. The trail-honed geometry is both fast and reassuring, encouraging you to push your limits on the descents as well as the climbs.

The hydroformed frame is equipped with Rockshox XC28 forks, featuring 28mm stantions with 100mm travel and lockout feature.

The 9 speed drivetrain is a mixture of Shimano Acera / Deore to offer smooth and reliable shifting.

Finishing touches include the Continental X-King tyres and Whyte saddle, bars, stem and seatpost.

The 801 is a great looking mid range trail bike, well designed, 9 speed equipped and ideal for UK riding.
