Inspiration
We went into the Smuggler project with the intention of creating a bike that had the quick and high-energy feel of the Spur, but with a bit more travel front and rear. What we ended up with was a perfect blend of the Spur and Sentinel in geometry, travel, capability, and weight. It's not all downhill in the PNW; there's plenty of singletrack, technical trail, and meandering connective routes. The Smuggler is perfect for a day when your path comes across all of the above.
Smuggler Inspiration
Progression In All The Right Places
The Smuggler's sporty attitude comes from its leverage curve with over 27% progression. This provides a bottomless feel in a mid-travel package. For those looking to customize their ride, the Smuggler can be set up to suit any rider's preference by easily adding or subtracting volume spacers. All of this equates to a super lively, active, and forgiving rear suspension feel in any terrain.
Frame Design Evolution
The Smuggler exhibits a few frame design features that further our push to have clean aesthetics while remaining easy to service. The most notable is the headtube area that provides better functionality and serviceability. The headtube has integrated bearing cups and no longer needs headset cups pressed into the frame. This allows the frame to have super clean cable ports at the front of the headtube with fully guided internal cable routing from the headtube to the port above the bottom bracket shell. From there, cables cleanly enter the rear triangle hidden from view.
Smuggler Features
Dual 29" Wheels
Clearance to run up to 2.4" tires.
140mm Front and 130mm rear travel
The perfect amount of travel for moving around the mountains.
Drop in Headset Bearings
Allows for simple installation and servicing, saves unnecessary weight, and is more durable than traditional press-in headset cups.
Improved Cable Routing
Clean headtube cable routing for precise cable management. Cable entry near the front of the headtube insures less frame contact during handlebar rotation and better overall looks.
Internal Cable Routing
Guide tubes inside the frame for super easy setup.
Size Specific Chainstays
As the frame sizes grow, so do the chainstays to keep rider weight balanced on the bike.
27% Shock Progression
Allows the bike to be incredibly responsive to the trail while still being able to take large hits.
Gear Accessory Mount
Ditch the backpack and mount essential gear directly to the bike.
UDH
SRAM's universal derailleur hanger available in every bike shop.
Lifetime Warranty
We believe your bike should last longer than you.
GiddyUp Suspension
We want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. The GiddyUp suspension system is designed to behave intuitively across a broad range of setup. Because, we get it, sometimes you just want to grab your bike and GiddyUp, without checking your setup. When you do, it will always feel good.
With 27% of progression and a consistent linear rate of change, the Smuggler has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and acceleration but doesn't get in the way of the suspension working when it's needed.
A wide usable sag range of 25 - 35% allows the rider to tune the feel of the bike; from firm and snappy, to more supple and active. Wherever you end up, you can focus on the trail without remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and GiddyUp.
