It’s exciting times at the headquarters of Digit Bikes as they are beginning to assemble the struts for their new Datum!
The Digit Datum is a 140mm rear travel all-mountain/trail bike designed by Tim Lane and manufactured in California, USA. Its’ mullet design pairs a 27.5″ rear wheel with a 29″ front wheel and suspension fork having 150mm or 160mm travel.
Digit Bikes launched the Datum, their first bike, in 2021 through a Kickstarter campaign (which now is fully funded). The all-new ANALOG suspension matches both the better descending and pedaling attributes of the industry’s most respected four-bar suspension systems, while delivering significantly reduced weight, more space for water bottles, and improved reliability.
The culmination of years of development and ride testing on trails, bike parks, and all-mountain terrain, Datum is the reference, the middle point between XC and DH. It’s a mountain bike for riding in, across, up, and down mountains. It’s a bike that will deliver miles of smiles whether you’re showing up for your local Wednesday Night XC World Championships or Sunday’s Shred Session Enduro Series.
