Optic is that friend who gets you dressed up and on-point for a night out – and the next thing you know, your silk shirt’s got no arms, one of your shoes has gone AWOL, and you’ve traded one of your teeth for a piercing that wasn’t there when you left home. Sure, it’s got a little manic energy, but Optic’s up for a good time, every time - No matter how you define “Trail” riding.

TERRAIN-TAILORED SUSPENSION

Optic’s High Pivot Horst Link suspension platform provides 125mm net vertical wheel travel through a rearward axle path that absorbs high-speed, square-edge impacts to maintain momentum and control.

PRIORITIZED PEDALING

Optic’s chainstay-mounted, dynamic idler positioning creates a Trail-tuned anti-squat curve that prioritizes snappy, responsive pedaling with minimal kickback under heavy impacts, providing active suspension over rough terrain.

FORCE SEPARATION

Optic’s High Pivot Horst Link suspension provides control of anti-rise, which is a fancy way of saying braking forces and suspension action operate pretty much independent of one another, so your suspension works its best on or off the brakes.

PRECISION KINEMATICS

Large volume air springs, precision leverage curves and custom shock tunes provide an ideal balance of bump sensitivity and the support you need to feel connected to the trail. 50mm shock stroke and reduced leverage accommodates heavier riders while still ensuring proper setup for lighter folks.

SIZE & STYLE

Fully-committed, aggressively playful performance featuring size-specific Rear- Centres & Seat Tube Angles across all 5 frame sizes, giving you the best chance to find the perfect fit for your size & style.

YOU DO YOU

Optic Carbon is available with dual 29” wheels and one 29”/27.5” MX wheel model so you can toe the line, or let your hair down. Plus, you can buy the Missing Links later if you get curious about how the other side rides.

CARBON FRAME

Full carbon fibre frame and stays are engineered to optimize strength, stiffness and light weight, ensuring you hit the line you want every time and intuitively navigate the toughest terrain.

RIDE ALIGNED™

Perfect fit, dialed handling and personalized setup in minutes.

The Ride Aligned™ Design System matches each Optic to the human who rides it with Rider-First geometry and suspension that’s precision tuned in minutes to you and terrain you ride with the Ride Aligned™ Bike Setup Guide.
