We've all been there. A friend you haven't seen in a while says; "Hey, you're into bikes aren't you? I want to get a mountain bike. You know, something decent, what do you recommend? You take a deep breath and think to yourself "Where do I start?"
Well here's the good news. You start right here:
The Clockwork 127 is the member of the family that comes with a 120mm fork and runs on 27.5 inch wheels. So far so good, two boxes ticked. You don't want to recommend anything daunting, complicated or unaccessible. The Clockwork 127 is anything but; it's a great performer, great spec, great all-rounder and the perfect launch pad for anyone young or old. It covers all the bases, will fly around trail centres, load up for a bivvy bag expedition and even get you started in racing.
WIth its straight forward reliable drivetrain, and a cracking Goldilocks 'just right' spec, the 127 will have your friend converted and you'll soon have a new crew member out on the trails. Tell 'em we sent you.
