Since the 1st generation Tracer was introduced in 1999, the bike has been positioned as our most aggressive trail/all mountain bike in the line – agile on climbs and destroys the descents. The Tracer has long been a leader in the evolution of trail bikes. In 2014, it was named “Interbike’s Bike of the Year”. In 2017, Pink Bike called it a “playful, ready-for-anything trail bike” and Enduro Mag said was an “ irrefutably great bike”. But don’t take their word for it – experience it for yourself.
