With the industry leaving 27.5" wheels behind - and certain riders with it - we doubled down on our commitment. We developed this dedicated 27.5 platform alongside the Edit MX, which together form the fifth generation of our iconic Edit line. What that means is you can build a super versatile 27.5" mtb without compromising the geometry, kinematics or sizing. It is, as ever, the real deal.

You get the usual Airdrop build quality and commitment to usability which means external cable routing, CNC guides and standard bearings throughout. It's alloy, with an all-new custom butted tubeset and CNC fitments throughout. The one-piece rocker is machined from a solid billet and anodised with a natural silver finish. The tubing gets our unique matte powder coat treatment (which is tougher than wet paint) in Pitch Black.

The Edit 27.5 has a 205x62.5mm Öhlins TTX22 M.2 Coil shock delivering 161mm travel (a 65mm stroke version offering 167mm is an option, subject to availability). It's undeniably one of the finest rear shocks available today with a huge range of adjustability and the unmistakeable Öhlins build and finish. Match that with a 160mm or 170mm fork. It has a tapered head tube, threaded bottom bracket, 200mm brake mount and a UDH compatible rear end. You can run standard drivetrains with the included mech hanger or the latest SRAM t-type direct-mount. A brushed alloy head badge, CNC seat clamp, axle and our dedicated Silencer chainstay protector completes the package.
