Versatile, Capable, Customizable: The All-New MDE Bikes Damper Is Here 5

MDE Bikes is announcing their completely revamped 2020 Damper trail/enduro bike. Among the litany of updates is a revamped suspension design, intended to provide greater lateral stiffness and now allow for a water bottle mounted in the traditional downtube placement.  The new, I-Link 2.0 has been optimized for mud-shedding and pivots on large, Enduro bearings. 

The chainstays have been shortened to 439-mm on the 29er and 425-mm on the 27.5-inch wheeled version. Other geometry updates include a steeper seat angle, now 79.7-degrees, and a slacker, 65.5-degree head angle. A straight seat tube allows for increased dropper-post insertion. 

The Damper is available in three different wheel size configurations as either a 29-inch, 27.5-inch or a 29-inch front/27.5-inch rear wheeled setup. Riders can also set up the Damper with 27.5-plus wheel/tires.
