Parker is designed for riders who want a stout-but-light-&-tight bike they can use for gate racing, jumping, slope style riding, or all day trail riding. We took our proven XLT, beefed up the pivots, shock hardware and bell crank, modified the rear triangle, reined in the rear travel a bit, and bolted on forks with a huge range of travel options so riders can dial in just the right amount of travel they want for specific riding conditions. The result blew us away. We couldn’t decide whether to build the bike as an XLT all mountain replacement, or a fast slope-style freerider, or a dirt jump/gate racer. So we built all three.

The base model Parker 1.0 features an all-mountain/all-day triple-ring set-up, just like the XLT of last year. But with the significantly stronger/stiffer Parker frame and adjustable travel Rock Shox Recon fork, the bike is even more versatile and durable. The 2.0 features a more freeride/slope-style double-ring set-up with an e13 SuperCharger bash guard and 20mm Maxle fork/hub interface. The 3.0 gets a dirt jump or gate race single-ring set-up with an e13 chain guide and 20mm Maxle.

So now comes the hard part. Which Parker is it gonna be?
