Mistress. Noun. Feminine of master.
Mountain bikes made to fit you.
Warm Embrace geometry helps you ride with more comfort, confidence and fun.
- Prevents the most common crashes (over the bars and washing out in turns).
- Upright, comfortable pedaling position puts minimal strain on your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, back and knees.
- Classically slack seat tube angle opens up the cockpit, gets more power from your hips, and reduces strain on your knees.
- Balanced body position keeps the front wheel tracking in turns and reduces rear-wheel kick on bumps.
The result is a bike that feels mellow and easy to ride. The bike industry’s belief that bikes can either be 1) comfortable and safe to ride or be 2) sick and have high performance is misleading at best. When you feel comfortable and safe, you feel confident. From that confidence you can enjoy new trails, keep riding with an aging body, pursue PRs, win races or hit bigger and bigger jumps.

In the mainstream mountain bike media, we’ve been led to believe that cool, shreddy bikes have short chainstays and stodgy, cruisy bikes have long chainstays. That all started with Gary Fisher ‘s Genesis Geometry in the ’90s, and it’s become dogma. If you look at geo…

Why do Mistresses have single pivot suspension?
I get this question often. Here is my thinking: First, what is single pivot suspension? On most mainstream bikes you’ll see multiple arms and links and pivots that control the movement of the rear wheel and the behavior of the shock. Do these work? Yes! They give bike designers very fine control of the bike’s…
