4 Short-Travel 29ers REVIEWED - Vital MTB Test Sessions
Welcome to our 2022 Short Test Session! We brought together four pedal-hungry and downhill-capable bikes that weighed within a few pounds of each other, had between 100 and 130mm of travel, rolled on 29-inch wheels, and shared similar components. Checking all of these boxes, we ended up with four exciting machines: Alchemy’s Arktos 120, Ibis’ Exie, YT’s IZZO, and Scott’s Spark. Our goal was simple - find out where this exciting category of aggressive, short-travel mountain bikes shines, what unique features set them apart, and ultimately help riders discover which bike would best complement their trails and preferences. Which bike do you think would be best for you?
