Carbon Wasp is back with a new & improved Truffle, the 120mm light carbon XC to Trail mountain bike hand crafted in the UK…
Click to email a link to a friend UK-based Carbon Wasp revamped their 120mm Truffle mountain bike, reshaping the XC 29er into a more capable light trail bike from their Leeds, England workshop. Already a do-it-all short travel bike with progressive geometry, this updated Truffle gets a few key tweaks and modern tech updates, including a new option for the buyer to pick geo to suit their riding.
For the most part, geometry on Truffle isn’t all that different, besides a bit lower frame Stack heights that suggest maybe a slightly shorter headtube. Or shorter forks overall, although they seem to still be using the same 120mm SID as the benchmark. So go longer and get slacker, up 140mm up front.
Out back there are two more big updates. First, a revised dropout design brings UDH compatibility for SRAM T-type derailleurs, but it seems mechanical shifting is still possible for those who want it. “The kinematics of the Truffle-120 are designed to provide 120mm of plush and progressive rear travel. Shock progression is 38% across the full travel . Anti-squat is fairly standard for this type of bike , making it a stable climber. Again, Carbon Wasp aren’t reinventing the wheel, but doing what works to make a solid bike that achieves the performance characteristics they want.
