Upgrades from the Core 10 include 9-speed Shimano Deore gearing and a
Rockshox Tora XC fork – the same proven ability frame with closer-ratio
gears, lighter rims and the overall durability to take on more extended
rides, more often.

Core — the aluminium hardtail that’s dead-centre, always on target.
It’s fast, light and accurate with a trail-tested geometry that’s
capable of taking lines that may surprise you. Tapered and ovalised
triple-butted 6069 ALX-9 (Core 40 and 50) or double-butted 6061 (Core
10, 20 and 30) heat-treated aluminium tubes let us tune the ride feel
to avoid harshness as well as keeping the weight down and strength up.
The Core frame design needs a durable part list, so all Shimano brakes
and gears, SR and Rockshox forks plus details such as spline-axle
cranks, 400mm seat posts, shorter stems and wider bars are all standard
specifications.
