Nolichucky Enduro Trail Bike
Welcome to the trail riding platform that can do it all: the Nolichucky.
With 120mm of travel, charge downhill through the gnarliest, chunkiest descents with surgical precision. Pedal with efficient power up the climbs. Ride with flowing speed on 29er wheels, or go for the technical handling 27.5+ wheels offer. Whether you’re tying up a number plate for an enduro or headed out for a day of getting rowdy with friends, the Nolichucky is your good times, trail-slaying machine.
In the craggy northeastern tip of Tennessee lay Nolichucky Gorge, one of the state’s quintessential outdoor playground. With miles of adventurous terrain and something for everyone, it made sense to honor the area in naming our most versatile trail frame after it.
With performance and quality at the center of development on the Nolichucky, we’ve mated or signature titanium main frame, designed for durable performance, with a strong and light carbon fiber rear swingarm to create a truly modern trail bike.
Litespeed’s biggest full-suspension rig features a four-bar UpLink suspension design, anchored by a reliable and fully-adjustable Fox Float DPS Evol shock. This light, versatile design provides a full 120 millimeters of smooth, progressive stroke through the back of the bike while also providing for increased standover clearance. Paired with the stiff carbon rear arms, the Nolichucky exhibits exceptional pedaling efficiency when the trail points up.
Out front, the Nolichucky is designed around a 120mm to 140mm fork ready to carve corners and eat up big hits with ease.
Ready to make the Nolichucky frame yours in every way? From component options to a special wheelset, if there’s something you don’t see in our standard offerings, we can likely make it happen! Give us a call to chat about your requests, and at an added upcharge and with extra lead time, we can make your Nolichucky build perfect…in every way.
