TENSION RIVAL

The Tension features a lightweight aluminum frame paired with a full carbon fork, equipped with a mud-clearing SRAM Rival 1x drivetrain and 160 mm hydraulic disc brakes for confident control. We’ve fitted race-legal 32 mm Vee XCX tyres on the 650B XS–S sizes, while 33 mm Schwalbe X-One Allrounds roll on the M–XL models. With rack and fender mounts and a wide-range cassette, it’s ready not just for race day, but also for bikepacking adventures or your daily commute. After all, who says you have to race every day? The weekend will do just fine.

"The beauty of the stiff alloy frame is also that it climbs quickly, readily flying when you open up a sprint. The bike handled tight & twisting turns, loose downhill & pedaly sections, and repeated short sprints all without hesitation.“

¹ Our bike size recommendation generally represents a rough guideline for quickly narrowing down the sizes from which to choose based on the body height. Bike fitting is a complex topic and other measurements and factors have to be accounted for as well. Since no two human bodys are exactly the same it is not possible to give a 100% correct advice for everyone. Therefore Bombtrack cannot guarantee for the stated recommendations to be correct for every individual customer. The best way to work out the correct size is to consult a local Bombtrack dealer or a professional bike fitter and have them determine the needed size.
