Motobecane has done the unbelievable - they have put a light and strong, raceable disc hardtail within reach of nearly anyone!

COMPETITION READY
The 2008 Fantom Elite is specified with competition-ready components and even tougher frame but nearly as light as the frame on the FLY Team '03 XC Race Bike of the Year. Please compare this bike directly against any other manufacturers $2,000+ hardtail on the market. Their bikes are heavier or not as capable.

Extremely capable
with long travel RockShox Recon 351 WITH UTURN ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL 85-130mm fork ($550 List), Ritchey Bar, Stem AND Post. The Fantom Elite adds to those race winning specs; an FSA integrated crank and cutting edge External Bearing MegaEXO sealed BB, Ritchey Sealed bearing headset, sweet shifting Shimano XTR rear derailleur ($120 List) with WTB SpeedDisc Wheelset and amazing powerful Avid Hydraulic Juicy 5 Disc Brake system.

Avid Hydraulic Disc Brakes have been rated by magazine reviews as one of the best.

LIGHT WEIGHT
STILL a sweet 28.5* pounds, this bike is several pounds lighter than any other bike in this price range AND Specs. (*weight per mfg specs)

SWEET HANDLING
Motobecane USA has really dialed in a race-proven geometry into this phenomenal ride. The handling is very responsive and yet stable. Singletrack and switchbacks are all handled with ease. Slow speed and high speed, technical and flat-out hammering, you will go faster because this bike is so darn light and capable.
This bike is truly versatile. Put slicks on this baby, lock out the front fork and try to give those roadies a run. Box Stock- you've got a capable trail bike that can handle just about anything and anywhere. (No Hucking Please)

These 2008's are shipping NOW. Who else has a lightweight XTR bike with 5" travel Recon Rockshox fork, Avid Hydraulic Disc Brakes for less?
