This one came about when two builders had the dumb idea to sign up for the Crusher 225 and build rigs to ride it on, having no long distance racing/bikepacking experience.

 I may be tooting my own snorkel (look into it), but the prototype did pretty dang well.

Two Crusher seasons (including last year completing all 5 events – yes, two of them were running) later and I can confirm this is one capable rig.
Eats up the miles, hauls the gear, and is ready to rock the…rocks.

Suitable for 100 to 130mm of fork travel, it’s a versatile machine with multiple personalities.
