Last year we launched our new Operator platform with one purpose: ride the bejesus out of the world's downhill tracks all week, race the hell out of them on Sunday, then do it every weekend forever. It starts with a wholly rejuvenated version of our famed Walking Beam 4-Bar suspension system. The design features incredibly plush and durable oversized axle pivots and bearings, combined with low standover and a modern, balanced riding position. We've taken everything we've learned from our World-Championship-winning Stab and created a bike that speeds into a new era of downhill riding. It's easy to maintain, with a supple and deep rear suspension feel designed for The Long Sweet Ride, so it's no surprise Dirt Magazine called it "bang on." To make it even better we shortened the rear chainstays by 12mm.
