With the industry leaving 27.5" wheels behind - and certain riders with it - we doubled down on our commitment. We developed this dedicated 27.5 platform alongside the Edit MX, which together form the fifth generation of our iconic Edit line. What that means is you can build a super versatile 27.5" mtb without compromising the geometry, kinematics or sizing. It is, as ever, the real deal.
You get the usual Airdrop build quality and commitment to useability which means external cable routing, CNC guides and standard bearings throughout. It's alloy, with an all-new custom butted tubeset and CNC fitments throughout. The one-piece rocker is machined from a solid billet and anodised with a natural silver finish. The tubing gets our unique matte powder coat treatment (which is tougher than wet paint) in Pitch Black.
The Edit 27.5 has a 205x62.5mm Rockshox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate shock delivering 161mm travel. It has independent high and low speed compression and we spec the optional hydraulic bottom-out feature. Match that with a 160mm or 170mm fork. It has a tapered head tube, threaded bottom bracket, 200mm brake mount and a UDH compatible rear end. You can run standard drivetrains with the included mech hanger or the latest SRAM t-type direct-mount. A brushed alloy head badge, CNC seat clamp, axle and our dedicated Silencer chainstay protector completes the package.

Choosing the right spring rate is key to getting the most out of a coil shock. Work out your total rider weight - including your normal riding kit - then use this chart to choose a spring. You can use the shock's preload adjuster to do the fine tuning later.
These spring rates are calculated based on the Edit's kinematics. Even if you're used to running coil shocks on other bikes, you may need to check the right spring for the Edit. These calculations are based on 30% sag. On the Edit's 205mm shock length, 30% sag measures at 187mm eye-to-eye.
