The MX configuration pairs a 29-inch front wheel for better rollover and stability with a 27.5-inch rear wheel. This combination gives you the confidence to tackle rough terrain while keeping the bike agile and easy to maneuver through tight corners.

Not at all. While it is a sophisticated design, it is built to be durable and requires minimal maintenance beyond standard cleaning and periodic greasing of the pivot points. It is designed to be a 'set it and forget it' system for most riders.

While the SB165 is optimized for descending and bike park riding, the Switch Infinity suspension provides a very efficient pedaling platform. It resists bobbing under power, making it surprisingly capable on backcountry climbs, though it is still heavier and more aggressive than a dedicated trail bike.

Yes, it is a significant benefit. Threaded bottom brackets are generally easier to install, remove, and service compared to press-fit alternatives, which helps reduce creaking and simplifies long-term maintenance.

Absolutely. With 170mm of front travel and 165mm in the rear, paired with the Fox Factory coil shock, this bike is specifically engineered to handle the repeated abuse of bike park laps and high-speed, technical terrain.

The internal cable routing is designed for a clean aesthetic, but it can be slightly more involved than external routing. However, the frame is engineered to make the process straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic bike maintenance.
