The all-new Core 3 is a 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. The Core 3 has a very sensible pick of components and a nice price.
