NS Core 2

The Core 2 is a high-end freeride hardtail that will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain – from big drops and jumps to long climbs and winding single track. The 4130 cromoly used in the frame is the ideal material for this kind of bike – it’s strong, not prone to catastrophic failure and but does not transmit vibrations as harshly as the aluminium in frames that most manufacturers spec.


Key features
- Beautiful Marzocchi 55R fork with 20mm axle
- 100% cromoly frame for strength and great ride quality
- Dual ring setup opens up more riding options
