Geometry
The Telluride XL120 is designed to be a versatile, well-rounded mountain bike. The 67° headtube angle is slack enough to inspire confidence on the descents while still offering precise steering at slower speeds. The high stack and reach puts the rider in a comfortable climbing and descending positon.
