OVERVIEW

For 2012 we have redesigned the Mantra chassis to introduce an all new custom Series 02 6061 tubeset that features the new X44 headtube standard. A real labour of love, form following function. We’ve worked closely with our frame and tubing partners to build a cutting edge hardtail that’s a scream to ride.

The 2012 Mantra has a longer cockpit and slacker headangle, these subtle changes greatly improve the bikes composure on technical trails. Mantra covers a complete price range, from the entry level enthausiast to the expert rider.
