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 is now available with the 2025 Rockshox Vivid Air Ultimate shock delivering 161mm travel. Built to maximise downhill capability, the Vivid is an air shock with coil-like suppleness. The new TouchDown RC2T damper has improved sensitivity and suppleness off the top whilst offering support through the travel. We spec the optional, adjustable hydraulic bottom-out feature. There's rebound adjustment, independent high and low speed compression adjustment, and a Threshold lever for added pedalling efficiency.

The frame 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.
