The all-new Rhyme Expert Carbon 650b is built to support women who go hard on the trail and need a no-holds-barred bike to do it on. To do so it features our proprietary shock tune for women Womens Rx Tune thats tailored to give women the best suspension performance possible.
Of course theres also SRAMs workhorse one-by groupset X1 and Shimanos dependable XT hydraulic disc brakes to round out a build that places an equal focus on durability and efficiency. At the frame youll find our FACT 9m carbon fibre that creates a lightweight strong and stiff construction. The carbon moulding process also allowed us to revolutionise how you carry your trail essentials with the all-new SWAT Door found at the down tube.
This compartment will fit a tube a tool and pump without rattling or compromising the structural integrity of the frame. Factor in our nimble 650b Trail Geometry size-specific components and our pressure-relieving Body Geometry Myth saddle and you truly do get a bike that refuses to compromise.
The FACT 9m carbon fibre Trail Chassis with a Rhyme FSR M5 alloy rear end blends stiffness with light weight to reach the pinnacle of efficiency while fully enclosed cable routing and an integrated SWAT Door create exceptional handling and zero-hassle storage. The frame also features our Trail 650b Geometry that adds to confidence fit and performance.
Connected with our FSR 6-Pack Linkage a custom FOX Float Factory rear shock features AUTOSAG for easy setup and 150mm of plush adjustable suspension while our Womens Rx Tune provides a more supple responsive and efficient feel for climbing up and descending down the trail.
Roval Traverse 650b rims have an ultra-wide 29mm internal width for more stability and speed when pointed down the trail.
Every component and touch point of the bike from the handlebars to saddle to the crankarm length is tailored for both women and rider size.
