The Komodo’s triple-gauge, double gusseted aluminum chassis and Manitou Stance Flow fork with Hex-Lock thru-axle say it all—this is a big-hit hardtail that, in the right hands, can match a long-travel dual-suspender blow for blow. This is super-duty stuff, from the 120-150mm adjustable-travel fork to the 8” rotors and Hayes HFX-9 hydraulic calipers. TruVativ’s bomber Hussefelt bar, crank and Howitzer ISIS bottom bracket will hold up under hard landings, backed by the anti-taco protection of WTB’s Dual Duty FreeRide disc rims and the added cushion of 2.35” Maxxis HansVenture tires.
