Here are 5 of the most important features of the Patrol 691 which make is standout from the enduro crowd!

To say that we’re proud of our new 691 is a bit of an understatement. Development for the 691 began with a clean slate and the only design objective was to design and build an enduro bike that we would be happy to ride. We kept clear of the marketing rabbit hole and built a bike with the geometry that suits our riding style with only the features that matter.

Modern Enduro Geometry

The 691’s progressive geometry makes our 150mm travel 29er a bike for every condition, on every trail, and for every rider. Pro riders will love the agility and ease of manoeuvre, Intermediate riders will appreciate the stability, and newer riders will appreciate the confidence-inspiring nature of the 691

Super Boost

With a confidence-inspiring geometry to push you faster and harder in rougher trails, you’re going to need a chassis that can handle those forces. The 691 is one of the first production bikes to offer the latest Super Boost rear hub spacing. This gives us a flex-free rear end while letting us retain short and playful chainstays.

Fox Suspension

As we said, we wanted to build an enduro bike that we wanted to ride, and we like to ride Fox Suspension. 160mm travel Fox 36 forks make light works of even the deepest ruts but are supple enough to iron out even the smallest of bumps. Matched to a custom-tuned Fox rear shock, the new 691 is ready to ride, race and adventure.

Complete Shimano Drivetrain

If you’re out on Patrol you need to be sure that your equipment isn’t going to let you down. The newest 1 x 12 Shimano drivetrains are our personal choice for reliability and ease of maintenance. We love the fast and positive shift action of Shimano 12 speed, even under pressure this large range system won’t let you down.

An aggressive package at a great price

Switching to tubeless tires offers benefits like reduced puncture risk due to internal sealant, lower rolling resistance for a smoother ride, and enhanced traction from running lower pressures without pinch flats.

Setting proper sag is vital for a Patrol Mountain bike’s performance. A shock pump, tape measure, and assistant are needed for measuring the suspension compression under the rider’s weight.
