Crafted from durable 6061-series alloy, the frame provides balance between strength and weight. Smaller frame sizes come with 27.5-inch wheels to maintain responsive handling for compact riders, while medium and larger frames use 29-inch wheels for enhanced rollover capability and stability on rough terrain.

A 120 mm front suspension fork absorbs trail chatter and smooths rougher lines. Combined with stable geometry and a forward weight distribution design, the Storm 120 encourages confident descending, more traction on climbs, and balanced handling in technical sections.

Drivetrain & Brakes
Equipped with a 9-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain and 11–46T cassette, the Storm 120 offers a broad gearing range to tackle climbs and flats alike. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in wet or dry conditions, ensuring you stay in control when speed matters.

Components & Comfort
The cockpit features a wide 750 mm (on small) or 780 mm (on medium and up) alloy handlebar for responsive steering. A 50 mm stem, 31.6 mm seatpost, and tubeless-ready wheels round out the build, offering both comfort and adjustability. The frame also accommodates modern trail upgrades like dropper post systems.

Trail Versatility & Everyday Use
Whether you’re riding technical singletrack, gravel connectors, or pavement shortcuts, the Storm 120 handles it all. It’s a dependable entry point into mountain biking without compromising on performance. For riders seeking a reliable do-it-all machine, it’s an excellent choice.
