NS Bikes Synonym TR 1 29" Mountain Bike 2020 - Trail Full Suspension MTB
Before you say: “wtf?! Is ns making an xc bike??” - stop. This is not just another xc bike. This is something completely different! The geometry of the synonym is miles away from any bike that you can find on the market. The slack head angle, massive reach and very steep seat tube this bike descends better than any xc bike out there, it climbs like a goat and charges like a bull on the flats. We deeply believe that short travel hardcore, lightweight xc/trail bikes are the most fun you can have on two wheels when you don't have a chairlift. This year many companies have launched bikes in this category, but even if they claim to be progressive, they are actually very conservative old school xc bikes with bigger forks. The synonym is different - it's a totally new concept designed from the ground up. Everyone we know who has tried this bike has been simply blown away. This really is a game-changer in the xc / lightweight trail segment.
The synonym tr is a game-changer in the lightweight trail category. Radical geometry and a beefy 120mm fork presented in an ultra-lightweight package gives the rider a unique experience. It burns trails unlike anything else on the market. All available alternatives either have old-school geometry or are heavy and slow to pedal. Most riders who have tried this bike swear that they can go just as fast on downhill trails as on their standard, “big” trail / all-mountain bikes. This is because the limiting factor is not the suspension travel, but the position that the rider has on the bike and the way it handles. This amazing ride impression that riders have reported is backed up by lap times and measured segments. It simply blows everything else out of the water.
Key Features:
- Radical, unprecedented geometry
The longest, slackest XC bike on the market! No other bike comes even close!!!
- Flex Stays
Flex stays eliminate the need for a pivot in the rear triangle. less weight, more lateral stffness..
- Frame Design
Beautiful lines by George Dabrowski. Designer of award-winning Rondo bikes.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimetres for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but are like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the Mountain bike column.
