Fueled for flow

«The LINKIN is the one bike that does it all for me on a daily-basis. Whether as a 135, 150, or LT version, it's the most versatile platform in the BOLD line-up.»

The LINKIN

is our idea of what the ultimate trail mountain bike should be. Designed for long days in the backcountry, or just rippin' around your local trails, this platform provides ample compliance to bring the best out of every trail and comes in 135mm, 150mm and long travel versions.

Geometry & Size Guide

It's the dream! Slack angles and a long reach without sacrificing agility and playfulness.

Low center
of mass

Because it makes a difference! By applying the laws of physics, we get what we all desire: the best possible ride characteristics. Effectively lowering the center of mass results in notable improvements in ride quality: quicker handling while cornering, increased confidence in the most technical terrain, while supporting a fun and playful riding style. And that's just the beginning

Suspension
from another
world

Call it black magic! The LINKIN brings the good in both uphill and downhill performance. This pedal-efficient suspension design thrives in tough conditions and will not hold you back when it's time to push the limits. Responsive small-bump sensitivity goes hand in hand with plenty of support while riding in the mid-stroke. The built-in bottom-out control keeps you secure in the saddle whenever the horses want to run wild.

3-position
remote
control

With a flick of the TRACLOC remote, you can change the bike characteristics from fully open Descend Mode with 150mm travel, to a responsive 100mm Traction Mode, or even to a full Lockout Mode, all on the fly. Engaging the NUDE Suspension Technology limits the air volume of the shock to reduce sag and effective travel, in turn increasing efficiency on flatter sections or technical climbs.

Adjustable geometry

Drop that thing! Let your BB drop by using the FLIP CHIP to turn your daily driver into a slack speed machine. Flipping the headset cups slackens the bike further to gain additional confidence at higher speeds.

Integrated features

Pump, tube, and tire levers? Check! Integrated multitool and rear-axle tool to tighten every bolt on the bike? Also check! With integrated helpers like our Save The Day Kit, you are prepared for all common trailside incidents.

Travel indicator

Setting your ideal shock pressure is easy with the right tools at hand. The Travel Indicator not only lets you set sag with ease, but also shows you how much travel you have been using to finetune your mid-stroke and bottom-out stroke.

The devil
is in the
details

Clean cables

Regardless of whether you run the sleek Syncros Hixon cockpit or a regular bar/stem setup, the integrated headset routing keeps your cockpit clean and sorted at any time.

CLOSED AND PROTECTED

The Downtube Cover not only gives access to the integrated frame storage, but will also protect your carbon frame and shock from flying rocks and other impacts.

QUIET BIKE
FAST BIKE

A combination of rubber protectors and a neatly designed chain guide shut down any chain slap and keep the chain where it belongs.

LONG LEGS
DROPPER POST

Long legs? We got you! All bikes fit at least a solid 200mm dropper post among all sizes.

UDH READY

All BOLD bikes feature a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) to fit modern shifting systems or to easily find a replacement in a local store.
