Identiti Aka XT 27.5-Inch Bike

The AKA is a proper mountain bike. A pedal up, pedal along, blitz down kind of affair with familiar geometry inspired
by the big-hitting Mettle. Take it to the flow trails at your local trail centre, go off-piste, or take it to your
local BMX track – it’ll put a smile on your face.

You’d think making a hardtail was as simple as picking a few decent geometry numbers, throw it together and away you
go… if only it was that easy. In fact, hardtails get steeper at sag, so we put a package together that ticks all the
boxes with that in mind. A slack head angle, and comfortable seat tube angle, and a low bottom bracket put you ‘in’
the bike and in the thick of it. The AKA is the culmination of years of design experience, tweaking, and adapting
the design until we were happy.

Chuck a set of 27.5″ wheels in it with a 140mm fork, or some 29″ wheels with a 120mm fork. The same frame can handle
both without sacrifice allowing for unlimited potential. With tyre clearance up to 2.6″ and multiple water bottle
mounts, and an adjustable drop out for running it single speed…
