The Desert Brat is Spencer Harding’s pro model, blending modern mountain bike DNA with the characteristics of a versatile ATB and touring bike. Its lightweight aluminum frame was designed specifically for 29" wheels and offers tire clearance of up to 2.6". The comfortable geometry, featuring a high stack height, ensures a relaxed riding position, while the generous tire clearance and dropper post compatibility make it capable of handling challenging trails. This makes the Desert Brat equally well-suited for long-distance touring, bikepacking, and spirited off-road adventures.
Numerous mounting points for bottle cages and luggage—including dual mounts on the down tube—make it exceptionally well-equipped for touring. An integrated carry handle makes it easier to navigate obstacles.
