Why the Defender ORBIT Excels on Every Trail?

The Orbit was engineered around one simple idea: balance. Its refined Horst-link suspension platform delivers exceptional pedaling efficiency on the climbs while remaining active and composed when the trail turns fast, rough, and technical. With 140mm of front travel and 135mm at the rear, the Orbit feels equally at home on flowing singletrack, rocky descents, and all-day backcountry adventures.

The Orbit isn’t built to specialize in one type of riding. It’s designed to do everything exceptionally well, giving riders a lightweight, confidence-inspiring trail bike that’s ready for wherever the next ride leads.
