Geometry: Head Tube Angle:Īs far as geometry goes, the Silverback Surface displays the ideal feel and handling. Up front the RockShox Revelation RC saved us on drops, while keeping the front half of the Surface stable on descends. The RockShox Monarch RT3 rear-shock features a custom tune setup on the basically, unlimited, 140mm of travel. Keeping the rough trail at bay, is a dynamic RockShox duo for the bike’s suspension. Boost Hub spacing was also featured on the wheels, and provided sturdy stiffness in technical sections. These trail readers were coupled with a set of SUNringle Duroc 30 Comp rims which had about a 30mm rim depth. Nice and stout, just the way we like them. We went with 29ers during our test, and ran a set-of Onza Ibex 29X2.4” tyres.

So, you can tackle more challenging obstacles on the trail.Īs a prime Enduro bike, the Surface gives you the option to run 27.5-inch Plus or 29er wheelsets.

We preferred to slacken the geometry a bit, which aided the effectiveness of Silverback’s Burst LT suspension linkage that rolls out with progressive travel. 140mm of rear travel, paired with the amazing Flip Chip feature, means you can tweak the geometry of the bike. However, the innovation that was applied to the hydroformed 6061 Alloy frame, and solid rear triangle, gives you an optimized suspension ambiance. The Surface is no light-weight competitor. Since the question we kept repeating to ourselves was: “How can a bike have so much travel and yet be so versatile?!” Well the answer is partly because the bike provides a well-thought combo between new geometry and spearheading performance. It wasn’t until we got a taste of the Surface, that we started to believe them. And frankly, were just as quick to promote its versatility. Silverback were quick to announce its arrival earlier this year. The Silverback Surface currently leads the charge in Enduro bike innovation, and at an accessible price.
