There's a saying that power is nothing without control. It's the reason the Aim SLX has a suspension fork with 100mm of adjustable, bump-swallowing travel – and a lockout, too, so you can turn it all off on smoother roads. Combined with strong, all weather-capable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, grippy 2.25in tyres and the potential for a future dropper post upgrade, it definitely puts you in control. As for power, Shimano's wide-ranging 1x12 Deore gears seamlessly translate your efforts at the pedals into forward progress. Where will you explore next?
Beauty is more than skin deep: the Aim's sleek looks are thanks to its Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions, flattered by Internal Cable Routing to reduce clutter. It incorporates a threaded bottom bracket and a flat disc mount that integrates seamlessly with our kickstand mount, plus integrated mounting points for ACID mudguards and carrier. Carefully thought-out geometry includes a lower top tube for more confident handling, and there's plenty of room to run wide, grippy and comfortable 2.25in tyres. Our Size Split system has an expanded range, too, so however tall you are there'll be an Aim that fits perfectly
