A rider around 170–178 cm tall looking for a carbon full-suspension mountain bike for rough, technical trails, steep climbs and confident descents.
The Apollo Trail D 20 is a proper mountain trail bike for riders who want control when the track gets rough. Its UD carbon dual-suspension frame combines 130 mm of rear travel with a 140 mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork, giving you the cushioning and composure needed for rocky sections, roots and technical descents.
The 27.5-inch Plus wheel platform uses wide 2.6-inch tyres to create a generous contact patch, helping the bike feel secure on loose or uneven ground. On trail, the balanced chassis, broad tyre grip and hydraulic disc brakes give you a reassuring combination of traction and control; it also remains manageable on smoother riding between trails.
Climbing is supported by the wide-range SRAM SX Eagle 1 x 12-speed drivetrain, with an 11–50T cassette for steep pitches and varied terrain. When the trail points down, the 125 mm KS dropper post lets you lower the saddle from the handlebar, making it easier to shift your body position and stay composed. With Boost axle spacing, a tapered head tube and a 19.5-inch Large frame suited to approximately 170–178 cm riders, this is a well-equipped choice for confident trail riding.
