Tech Overview

The Purpose

Developed with Top 20 EWS riders and the Enduro World Series in mind - The 161 features progressive geometry to descend as fast as possible, whilst reducing fatigue with a low effort climbing position. By reducing upper body stress on steep transitions, readiness and speed will increase during the timed stages.

Whilst working closely with racers to ensure it's everything they need to race at the highest level, they provided us with incredibly useful feedback; ranging from geometry to small (but important) details such as cable routing to clear race plates.

Key Features

Geometry/Sizing


Suspension

Comes as standard with Rockshox's SuperDeluxe Ultimate Air designed for the latest hard-hitting enduro and trail bikes, featuring the ride tuning abilities of an air spring with both compression and rebound adjustment allowing riders to easily dial in a podium-worthy ride.

  • New Maxima Plush damping fluid reduces friction and silences damper noise
  • Highly tunable DebonAir™ spring offers a coil-like consistent feel throughout the travel
  • Separate and independent open and threshold pistons tuned exactly for your ride
  • Low Speed Compression adjustment allowing fine tuning of compression needs from the base tune

Coil too?
The frame is designed to run great either a coil or air shock.

Does it fit a water bottle?
Yes! We'd recommend up to a 500ml bottle in a side load cage

Can I set the bike up mullet? (29" Front and 27.5" Rear?)
No, we do not recommend this set up as it will make the bottom bracket too low and slacken both the head and seat angles.

Can I run Plus Size?
The 161 was not intended to run plus, but can clear a 27.5x2.8 tyre. This will lower the bottom bracket height slightly.

Reviews

EDITOR'S CHOICE 2019

"Of all the bikes I’ve seen this year, none have captured my attention quite as much as the Privateer 161."

RIDE TEST REVIEW

“A disruptive influence. The Privateer 161 shows you don't have to spend a fortune to get a decent race bike, a slap to the face of boutique superbikes.”

FIRST LOOK

"Alloy frame, race ready geo and burly bearings that can handle season’s worth of abuse."

FIRST LOOK

"We had heard rumours that the big wheel, big travel, progressive prototype was being shown off around Eurobike, but when we stumbled upon it we could see just how far the geometry envelope had been pushed."

FIRST LOOK

"Dream up an enduro bike to race enduro aboard and you’d probably come up with something like this — 160mm travel matched to a 170mm fork, 29in wheels, and modern geometry"

FIRST LOOK

"The UK’s Privateer Bikes is Designing a New Frame Around True EWS-Level Use and Abuse"

FIRST LOOK

"The ultimate enduro racer for the cash-strapped?"

Works great.
Color: Blue+red
I love how easy this children’s dental floss is. My child with ASD is able to use with little to no help. it’s been years trying to get my child with sensory sensitivities to floss or brush teeth without a HUGE STRUGGLE, however this is very gentle and something that makes our oral health care routine smoother. ( if you know, you know!!) It is very similar to the viral “ usmile” adult version water flossers. My only complaint/issue with this is that it collapse pretty easily and sometimes it’s hard to keep in the locked position while flossing teeth. Overall a good product, and recommend.?

Great for dental appliances
Color: Pink+purple
My daughter has a dental appliance that can get food caught in it. We were told to try a water flosser to get the trapped food out. This has done exactly that. Very happy with it.

Fun new way of flossing.
Color: Blue+red
My 7 year old loves it and it works really well. He’s excited about teeth brushing time again accompanied by water flosser and it can be used in the shower!
