AIM

There are two things you want from a great mountain bike: control and dependability. The Aim SLX’s 100mm Suntour suspension fork, strong Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and wide, grippy 2.25in tyres take care of the control side of things. Rain or shine, tarmac or trail, it’s everything you need to take the rough with the smooth, safely. As for dependability, it doesn’t come any better than Shimano’s legendary 1×12 gears with an XT derailleur. With a huge range and a decades-long reputation for off-road performance, it’s the go-to system for many riders. Where will it take you?

Mounting points include compatibility with our Semi-Integrated Carrier 2.1 and a flat mount kickstand, while a tapered head tube ensures confidence-inspiring handling and the replaceable gear hanger means it’s easy to get up and running again in the event of a knock to the derailleur.
