Victor XC is our short travel big fun full suspension. Built for a 120mm fork and with a whopping 99mm of travel in the back this is closer to a softtail than a full on full suspension.
We could go on about how this is the best suspension platform in the world, and that the bike is as plush as a Chesterfield sofa, but it’s not and we are not gonna apologise for it.
That doesn’t mean it’s not any good! The pedaling platform is great, soaking up a lot of trail chatter while on the downhills you’ve got more control than any hardtail will give you. It does favor the active rider though! But when you are this bike gives a lot of grins per mile.
On the geometry front we are keeping it nice and progressive. Both long in the front and back, built for a short stem with it’s 64.5 degree headtube angle, but the 76 degree seat angle makes for a great seated position. A good bike is about balance, and the Victor put’s you firmly in the middle of the action.
While this might sound like too much bike for XC, you’ll be surprised how quick it is on the fast lanes, but also nimble enough to get up and down tight switchsbacks.
We have a couple of demo bikes in the shop and gladly have you testride them to find out how well our geometry works for yourself. Contact us for more info or to set up an appointment.

The first 3 UNpaved MK1 prototypes were built, tested and tweaked in 2024 and 2025. While the overall layout of the bike has remained the same, a lot of details have been optimized for the upcoming MK2 Victor.
I’ve built the first couple of Victors under project12 Cycleworks, below is a linked overview.
