NS Bikes Synonym TR 1 29'' Aggressive XC/Trail - Black/Eggplant

When NS Bikes brought the Synonym to the market, people shook their heads in disbelief. This bike was miles apart from all other short-travel bikes. The ultra-slack head angle, massive reach, and very steep seat tube had never been used in a short-travel bike before. But the Synonym was the harbinger of a revolution. Today, we all know that progressive geometry is the right way to go - even for lightweight XC/trail bikes! The Synonym TR is a true game changer. A radical geometry and a powerful 120mm fork in an ultra-light package offer the rider a unique experience. It burns trails like nothing else on the market. All available alternatives either have outdated geometry or are heavy and slow to pedal. Most riders who have tried this bike swear that they can ride downhill trails just as fast as on their regular, "big" trail/all-mountain bikes. This is because the limiting factor, unless you're on extremely rough trails, is usually not the suspension travel, but the position the rider takes on the bike and how it rides. This amazing riding impression, reported by riders, is confirmed by lap times and measured segments. In fact, this bike is so fast that many riders have chosen the TR version (with small modifications) as their XC racing weapon instead of opting for the special RC version. The Synonym TR consists of a full carbon frame with flex stays that make heavy pivots unnecessary.
