There’s a reason riders say control matters as much as power. The Aim SLX pairs a lightweight Aluminium Lite frame with 100mm of SR Suntour XCM suspension, helping take the sting out of roots, ruts and rough fire roads. The fork’s remote lockout lets you firm things up on smoother climbs or road sections, so your effort goes straight into forward motion.
The frame uses double-butted tubes to keep weight sensible without giving up strength. Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions create a clean finish, while internal cable routing keeps lines tidy and protected from trail grime. A tapered head tube adds front-end precision, and the geometry features a lower top tube for more confident handling when trails get technical.
Shimano’s Deore 1x12 drivetrain (10-51T cassette and 32T chainset) gives you a wide gear range for steep climbs and fast flats alike. Shifting is crisp and consistent, helping you stay in rhythm on rolling terrain. ShadowPlus clutch technology keeps the chain stable on rough ground.
Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes deliver steady, all-weather stopping power, so you can manage speed with confidence on descents. Grippy 2.25" tyres offer a good balance of traction and rolling efficiency, and the tubeless ready ACID EX25 rims give you the option to upgrade for improved puncture resistance and grip.
Practical touches include a threaded bottom bracket for easier servicing, flat mount disc brakes integrated with the kickstand mount, and mounting points for mudguards and a carrier. It’s also dropper post compatible, making future upgrades straightforward.
With Size Split across the range, wheel size is matched to frame size to give balanced handling for different rider heights. Whether you’re starting out on proper trails or building fitness off-road, the Aim SLX is a solid platform to explore further.
