Space sononym6/15/2023 ![]() The standout tweaks come in the form of longer reaches across all sizes, a steep 76-degree effective seat tube, and a slack 66-degree head tube angle. The Synonym's geometry package separates it from a dedicated cross-country bike. We tested the more expensive TR1 build that retails for € 6,199 and is highlighted by a FOX Factory 34 Step Cast fork, FOX Factory Float DPS shock, SRAM XO1 drivetrain, SRAM Level TL brakes with 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor, and Maxxis EXO Rekon tires. The TR naming signifies the 'trail' version, and besides boasting 20mm more travel thanks to a longer shock stork, it has a FOX 34 fork (instead of a 32), wider handlebars, a longer 150mm dropper post, a shorter 60mm stem, and wider tires.īoth the RC and TR models are available in two build kits. Both iterations share the same frame and swingarm molds, but the RC uses a premium carbon layup to reduce weight. NS offers the Synonym in two versions: the RC with 100mm of rear travel and the TR (tested) with 120mm of travel. Since its release over three years ago, multiple brands have launched similar models, ushering in a new wave of short travel bikes that are light, fly uphill, and rip descents. Representing a clear departure from their bread and butter, NS ensured that its first cross-country-esque bike would stand out against the rest, featuring a progressive geometry package and aggressive on-trail mentality. NS Bikes has deep roots in the freeride and dirt jump segment and have long-developed burly bikes to the beat of their own drum. ![]() Push-to-unlock suspension lockout was counter-intuitive.Carries great speed on flat or rolling terrain.Very capable and confident descending for 120mm bike.Measured weight (size medium, no pedals): 26.24lbs (11.9kg).120mm (4.7 inches) of rear wheel travel // 120mm (4.7 inches) fork.Combining the quick-moving pedaling habits of a true cross-country weapon with enough travel and progressive geometry to handle rowdy trails, the Synonym is a short-travel bike created for those wanting a light, snappy bike that won't feel limiting on descents. Welcome to NS Bikes Synonym TR, an absolutely ripping cross-country bike that boasts capabilities well beyond the typical expectations of a 120mm travel bike. The problem is that once your ride-everything bike is dialed in, you tend to search for that second bike to supplement your desire for multiple riding experiences. The classic yet dangerous N+1 equation, the question is, what do you get? Downhill bike? Road bike? E-Bike? Cross Country bike?
