TAM XR

Release your inner beast with the range-topping TAM XR’s drool-worthy spec. Fox’s race-ready 34 SL Performance Elite fork is fitted with the plushest GRIP X damper. Fettled to perfection, the Float SL shock has spot-on front-to-rear balance. Shift like lightning – Shimano’s newest Deore Di2 wireless electronic drivetrain has the fastest changes on the market. We’ve focused on saving weight and boosting speed with WTB’s KOM Light i30 rims and feathery X7 hubs. These are wrapped in Maxxis Rekon Race rubber, ideal for full-tilt missions. PWN’s smooth Loam dropper post is matched with the thumb-friendly Range Lever, giving a premium feel. Powerful but light SRAM Motive Silver four-piston brakes boost confidence without weighing you down. We’ve puzzled over the TAM XR’s spec so you can just hop on and ride.

The TAM uses our bump-smoothing 120mm IsoTrac flexstay suspension, developed using real science*. Countless hours of in-house data logging helped us tune it to keep you smiling and ripping on the trails. Our tech boffins worked tirelessly with our suspension partners to nail the kinematics – the TAM's suspension is nothing short of a chef's kiss. The flexstay delivers a trifecta of perfection: less complexity, less weight, less maintenance without impacting its shredding performance.

Long-distance riders, rejoice: every TAM has room for two bottles inside the front triangle. Those bottle bosses double up as accessory mounts for tools, a pump or whatever else keeps you rolling.

Riders will love its geometry. A trail-dominating 65-degree head angle pairs with a butt-soothing 76-degree seat tube angle, creating the TAM’s versatile persona. 29in wheels play nice with short 435mm chainstays to help you rip as hard as you want; the TAM slays for miles.

No detail is left untouched. Cables route internally via weather-sealed and ride-hushing ports, and the nifty main pivot loam-storing mudguard protects bearings. Maintenance is breezy thanks to a widely adopted BSA bottom bracket, Universal Derailleur Hanger, and Boost axle spacing. XC-specific pivot bearings keep weight down without making replacements a headache.
