456 Evo now available.
Size 14, 16, and 18 Php 15,500 Limited stocks! Matte Raw ![]() Midnight Blue ![]() The old 456 was our long travel hardtail. It dates back to a not-that-long-ago era where such bikes were called hardcore hardtails. This all sounds a bit quaint these days now that we're all used to 5in+ forks. 'Fun-for-ragging' bikes sounds a bit more like it. Anyhow, the 456 EVO, as the name suggests, is the latest evolution of this much loved model. So what exactly is evolutionary about the 456 EVO? The geometry is completely new. It isn't just a case of slackening the head angle and leaving the rest. Sure, the head angle has been slackened - and how! - but the rest of the frame has been tweaked too. Bike geometry is a formula, a melting pot, a system. Changing something will have a knock-on effect on several other things. It's why you can't just bung a 6in fork in your old XC bike and expect it not to ride like a bag of dung. The new 456 EVO is at the bleeding-edge of hardtail frame geometry. It's not afraid of a slack head angle. It's not afraid of a low slung BB. Neither does it neglect a roomy cockpit for all-day-play potential. It knows the important stuff that helps with climbing back up. The 456 EVO has all the geometry stuff to make the slogging stuff more bearable - enjoyable even. It also has all the numbers to make this bike one of the most capable hardtails currently available anywhere. If you know your numbers, you'll like this next sentence... With a sagged 150mm fork up front the head angle is 67.3 degrees, the seat angle is 72.8 degrees and the BB drop is 11mm. If you don't know your numbers, here's Brant to explain... "A slacker head angle gives better high speed control. A lower BB means climbing on is less aggravating and you're more planted through corners. A steeper seat angle keeps you forward on the bike. And the larger bikes also have longer chainstays - virtually unheard of on frames at this price - to keep you planted when things get steep even if you've got a lot of seatpost hanging out." One final great thing - it still looks like an On One. Simple lines. Low and long. No-nonsense decent finish. Versatile. Fun.
