This new frame is at the forefront of thinking as far as MTB geometry, tubing and riding styles are concerned. With tweaked geometry for '08 including slightly higher BB and revised head angle.
This is a real 'New Skool', no nonsense, hardtail, designed to be ridden all day over varying terrain. Here's what Singletrack Magazine had to say about it....."A good, light, real world mountain bike. All day ride capable, with the confidence for technical trails. Good value too".

The Easton tubed Maxlight XC is still extremely popular, but times are moving on and longer travel forks are becoming the norm. The XC>120 is based on the much loved geometry of the Maxlight XC but has been re-designed to accomodate the latest crop of modern, adjustable 100 - 130mm suspension forks. It is designed for the same quick handling riding style as the Maxlight XC, but with the added dimension that a longer travel fork can give.
This new frame is packed with features, including: Hydroformed Kinesium top tube with cable stops and hose clips neatly tucked out of the way underneath, Kinesium down tube with New 3D down tube gussett , Kinesium seat tube with forward facing slot, comfortable hourglass 'Kinesis Superlight' stays with neat hose clips, New forged dropouts, New ZeroStack head tube.
The XC>120 is light too! The 42cm frame weighs only 1520g!
Colours: Diamond Black, Vivid Blue and Tungsten Silver.
Sizes [c/t] - 42, 46, 50, 55cm.
