The beautifully styled dw-link Azure is engineered for Marathon XC dominance. Sculpted around the dw-link suspension system, the Azure Sport epitomizes XC performance in a racy package that everyday riders can enjoy. Its 6069 aluminum chassis provides a stiff and responsive ride, without having to worry about “waif-bike” flex or breakage that cripples other XC bikes on the market. The Azure Sport’s 90mm of rear travel matches perfectly with a 100mm fork for an incredibly efficient but very compliant ride. In 2006, the Azure received critical acclaim from magazines and riders alike all around the world, and was a favorite of teams competing in Marathon XC events like the Trans-Rockies Challenge.
