The Purpose
When our Colorado colleagues sparked the idea of a burlier build, and our athletes are choosing to run 'Swedish Gold' we listen. So inspired by them both, we've built up this very limited edition of our award winning 141.
Ground hugging sensitivity from the TTX22 coil on the rear, combined with the ultra adjustable RXF36 air upfront. This 141 is ready to tackle any hill, be it the Rockies or Tweed Valley.
The 141 is ready to ease you to the top with its steep climbing position, whilst its progressive geo will let you focus on the next chute, tight switch back or fun side hit on the way back down.
Who said versatility has to be boring?

Öhlins is synonymous with high end race products, so it's no surprise that in the few years they've been making MTB product, they’ve garnered such praise from racers and media alike.
Delivering World Cup Downhill performance in a package to suit any bike, their RXF36 M.2 air fork and TTX22M coil shock combo allows you to attack the toughest sections harder and faster than ever before.
OneUp get the need for long travel/short insertion and are obsessed with shaving every last millimetre to create the shortest stack height and shortest overall length of any dropper. The ability to shim down the travel by 10 or 20mm means we can confidently fit longer posts knowing riders can get their saddle where they need it.
Combine this with an innovative ergonomic remote and unsurpassed reliability (if something does go wrong its easily serviced at home) means the One Up V2 Dropper is truly in a class of its own.
Having produced freewheels for nearly 100 years, Shimano’s drivetrain reliability is indisputable. Known for taking their time to perfect a product, in SLX they created a versatile, durable yet smooth-shifting system. Using SLX where it was practical, as no-one likes replacing expensive mechs when you crash, we prioritised the shifting experience by upgrading to an XT shifter. Compared to its sibling, XT offers a proven multi-shift function, allowing you to shift two gears at once when the trail takes an unexpected turn and to avoid missing any key shifts, it also features rubberised thumb pads.
When you’re flying down a steep section, the last thing on your mind should be if your brakes are going to stop you - Magura’s MT5 offer heaps of controllable power. Enduro Mag goes as far to say “braking torque and deceleration were brutal – but rich in German precision. Wet or dry, the Maguras hauled down speed quickly, and were nothing but reliable.”
Combining 17mm twin pistons, with 2mm thick Storm HC rotors (203mm/180mm), provides huge amounts of power but also stability and improved heat dissipation ready for any alpine descent.

Can I swap my spring before shipping?
We have tried to cater for the majority of riders, but unfortunately, we are unable to swap spring weights before shipping. We understand this may not suit you individually, however replacements can be ordered with your local Öhlins supplier. If you are unsure, we'd highly recommend speaking with your local bike shop or tuner who'll be happy to assist and order the correct spring.
Air shock too?
The frame is designed to run great with 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 141 was not intended to run plus, but can clear a 27.5x2.8 tyre. This will lower the bottom bracket height slightly.
