AKA 27.5 SLX Navy Teal

The AKA is the peak of what a hardcore hardtail is. A pedal up, pedal along, blitz down kind of affair with proven geometry. Take it to the flow trails at your local trail centre, go off-piste, or take it to your local BMX or Pump 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, 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.

This is a performance focussed build for the Identiti AKA, with a full SLX groupset, 140mm Rockshox Revelation fork, Halo Vapour 35 wheels with a Supadrive rear hub and a Gusset finishing kit. This is our middle-tier spec with performance in mind.
