Outback Elite 8

Full-Suspension Mountain Bike

*New Model for 2010* Chainless mountain biking at it's finest! With the Outback Elite’s full-suspension frame design, Shimano Alfine 8-speed gearing, dual disc brakes and rugged components, it offers a unique blend of style and performance for recrational riding both on-road and off-road.

This full-suspension mountain bike was made to tackle mountain trails with increased control and durability. The Outback Elite’s aluminum full-suspension frame offers a nimble, responsive ride, while smoothing out rough terrain and reducing fatigue in your legs and arms. With the front suspension fork offering over 3 inches of travel and the rear suspension offering up to 5 inches of rear wheel travel, this full-suspension design make those long rides, bumby roads and off-road descents more comfortable and enjoyable. With a high torque rating and a wide gear range, the Shimano Alfine 8 is our smoothest, most rugged and most efficient gearing. The planetary gears are cold forged and heat treated to take long term abuse, and the hub internals are designed to handle inputs that would exceed what could be exerted by most any rider. The Outback’s 8-speeds offer a gear range comparable to 21 gears on a 24-gear chain bike, including low gears for tackling off-road climbs. The dual disc brake design offers strong, responsive and consistent braking in all kinds of terrain and conditions. Plus, with the tough, aluminum enclosed shaft drive and all-internal gearing, this bike also offers 13" of ground clearance and the durability to take crashes that would otherwise cripple fully exposed chains and derailleurs. In short, this bike offers the fun of a full-suspension mountain bike without the hassles of greasy, maintenance-prone chains and derailleurs.

If you're looking for a bike that is as much fun tackling mountain trails as it is urban streets, nothing compares to the rugged reliability of the Outback Elite 8.
