This latest iteration of the renowned Jekyll features a split downtube which houses a Fox Float Factory X2 shock (Jekyll 1 build) with 165 millimeters of high pivot suspension. Even more notable than its design is the Beetle Green paint job—guaranteed to snap necks at your local trailhead and inspire debate among your crew. Flashy looks might not be every rider’s cup of tea, though you’d be hard-pressed to find another modern mountain bike that beckons the eye to the degree of the Jekyll. As your viewing angle shifts, a scintillating emerald-green finish transforms to emit a peachy-orange glow.

Top quality mountain bikes are abundant in today’s marketplace, though few blend sleek design and rock-solid fundamental performance as naturally as the Jekyll. For riders seeking steeper than steep trails and sonic boom speeds, the Jekyll is an undeniable option. You may burn a few extra calories on the climb than your friends, but you’ll be reduced to nothing more than a blurry palette of shimmering green when it’s time to head back down. In that sense, the Jekyll is a work of art.
