X3 Description

The Vendetta is the original rowdy titanium hardtail, originally designed and built some 14 years ago, one of the OG hardcore hardtails. Whilst we have tweaked the geometry over the years the Vendetta’s core genetics have remained the same, 'go fast', maximum stability and no weight compromises. The X3 LE is the latest rendition of the classic.

Finish:

We're offering the Vendetta X3 LE in one finish, raw. Our most popular finish is a cleaned raw titanium with exposed welds for that au-naturale look. Not only it is hard to scratch, it cleans in the rain (mostly) and can be buffed up to a beautiful finish without much work. We are also offering the frames with a choice of decal colours, so you can customise you frame as much as you wish. Keep your eye out for a frame wrap kit too!

Size:

For large and xl versions of the frame, we have made the stand-over lower to retain a nicer shape with the top tube aligning better with the seat stays. Along with the development of larger drop seatposts we believe that we have nailed the stand-over on the X3 LE for the taller dude and dudettes. Long gone are the days of bikes getting taller for taller riders and good riddance.

Cables:

Speaking of big old dropper posts, the X3 LE now has the tried and tested internal routing for keeping that cable nice and safe.

Headtube:

The CNC tapered Ti head tube is back, with custom frame numbers on them for the LE run, you'll know there is only ONE of your frames out there! We can fit a Hope or Cane Creek headset ready for your fork for additional cost too so its closer to ready when it arrives with you!

                                                                                                            Seat tube Gusset:

In order to help bring a bit more uniformity through the range, we have given the X3 LE a seat tube gusset that matches the Void and the Valour. These will be standard going forward. Gotta keep on brand!
