Nebo Peak

The pinnacle of all-mountain performance bikes. 2010 brings all new higher-end components, including SRAM X.0 carbon derailleur, Avid Elixir R brakes, longer travel Fox Talas fork (150mm) with 15mm axel, and overall lighter weight - sub-30 lbs.

Imagine... coming off an aggressive singletrack ride through the canyon and you approach a steep climb to the crest. With a quick turn of the dial, you adjust the 6-inches of travel on the Fox Talas RLC fork down to 4-inches, automatically shifting your balance of gravity forward and allowing you to climb steeper than you've done before. As you approach the crest, you slide the switch back to 6-inches of travel, and with your thumb flick the SRAM X.9 shifter to Gear 2. The 1:1 gear ratios on the drive train make it shift quickly and confidently. As you bomb down the other side over stumps and around boulders, you notice the lateral stability and effortless braking. Your confidence rises as you become more comfortable with this finely engineered machine. You take a jump over a ledge and notice how smoothly the suspension and shocks absorb and forgive. You think, "I've never ridden like this before."

With the development of better frames and better shocks, Fezzari has been able to create all-mountain bikes that are as efficient in pedaling as the 4-inch cross-country bikes, but have the ability to absorb even bigger jumps and bumps because of the extra 2 inches of travel.

It has the Fezzari Racing Design F6A 4-Bar Link 150mm travel full suspension premium aluminum frame:

 

• Sealed bearings on every pivot point (most companies use only bushings that tend to wear out and ovalize the frame causing sloppiness). 
• It has a bend in the top tube to give lower standover clearance because often when you need to put a foot down on the trail you're not on level ground and you need as much clearance as you can get.
• The rear triangle has square tubing to give added strength and stiffness to the frame.
• The 4-Bar Link rear suspension distributes bump stress through four links and provides a more vertical wheel path than many other full suspension frames. A vertical wheel path means that when you're pedaling the bike won't bob up and down, but it will still absorb the bumps.
• Reinforced gussets in the right places to give it superior lateral stiffness
• Butting (thinning the tubing walls in the right places) to lower weight. The frame weighs just 6 lbs.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty on the frame - the best in the business.

 

You'll notice the difference in comfort, performance, and ride on a full-suspension Fezzari frame.

You get the following upgrades over the Cascade Peak:

 

1. Upgraded drivetrain - SRAM X.O (carbon) derailleur and X.9 shifters.
2. Upgraded front fork- the Fox Talas RLC is the best all-mountain fork on the market. With 150mm total travel and adjustability down to 110mm for steep hill climbing. It also has a 15mm axel for more rigidness on the most demanding trails. It also has a few more adjustments, including Low Speed Compression to help control pedal bob and bike attitude in pedaling and cornering. It also has more clearance between the tire and crossbar which helps if you're in extremely muddy conditions. You'll also notice its legendary stiffness and smoothness in cornering, climbing, and downhilling.
3. Upgraded disc brakes - The Avid Elixir R brakes are similar to Elixir 5s, but they have one more upgrade over Elixir 5s: Pad Contact-Point Adjustment. This is the red knob on the brake levers that allow you to adjust the pads inward or outwards on the fly to make the pads contact quicker or slower as you pull the levers.
4. Upgraded Crankset - the Truvativ FireX 3.3 GXP is lighter with all three alloy chainrings.
5. Upgraded Rims - The Mavic XM317 is a little lighter and stiffer than the XM117 rims.
6. Upgraded Rear Shock - From the Fox RP2 to Fox RP23, which gives you three adjustments on the ProPedal ride.

 

The ultimate in all-mountain bikes, you will have the confidence that you can take any trail, and climb, or any downhill in your path. Get the Nebo Peak if you want the best.

 

  Unbelievably Amazing bike-2010 Nebo Peak

August 17, 2010

Well I read the reviews and believe me I read them all.I have been riding for over 10 years where I rode motocross 7 years prior .I was a little concerned buying over the net as we all are from time to time.I had it shipped to Japan in perfect condition and when I opened it up,it looked better than the pic on the website..Now the real test..I took it up to one of the best downhill single tracks in Hakuba, Japan for one week riding everyday(my friends made this sick course)Well quite simply, it totally rocks.I threw on some intense fro-lites and she hucked of everything and didn`t budge around tight berms(even on one really rainy day).The componants are all amazing and I so love the one finger braking with the elixers(the bomb).My mate who rides a Trek 2010 EX 9 had a run on my Nebo and was pretty shocked and said mine performed way better(STOKED)..It`s really light and you can hang it out sideway`s over jumps with ease...and I hit some pretty big airs...Climbing is phenomenal and the pro-pedal is a dream...Lovin technology when it comes to bikes...Anyway, it`s the orical of bikes in my opinion.Just buy one..Thanks so much Fezzari....

This bike is amazing. I have been riding it for the past 3 months. What a difference a bike can make. I knew on my first ride that I had made the right choice. All the uphill technical parts that used to cause me to put a foot down are no match for the Nebo Peak. I am a much better rider and I owe it all to Fezarri. I did upgrade to the Mavic Crossmax ST and went tubeless so I ended up under 29 pounds. I shopped around the local bike shops and similar bikes from other makers would have been about $2000 more. I would highly recommend this bike. The support from the staff at Fezzari after the sale has been great as well.

  A lot of bike for the money

I thought about getting a Trek EX8 but after comparing components with the Nebo I found the Nebo components were about 45% more expensive when bought separately. The Nebo is priced like an EX8 but with a better component set than the $700 more expensive EX9. The Nebo also has ball bearing pivots which is a big plus. I love the Fox Talas front shock. I set it for 4" travel which lowers the front by 2". This makes the bike climb without the front lifting. I use it at the 6" setting for everything else. This bike makes my last bike, a Gary Fisher Tassajara, seem like a toy. I've put several hundred trail miles on the bike without any issues. I did bust a spoke but that's because I crashed over a small stump. Other than a few minor adjustments this bike has been worry free. I don't regret spending the extra money. I had Fezzari include the Gravity Dropper Turbo seat post. I like the post but the actuator cable should have been turned around so the cable came out facing the rear instead of the front. With it facing forward it gets kinked when you are standing over the bike. I hope Fezzari reads this post and starts installing the posts the other way. I bought a KS I900 seat post and I like it better because I don't have to try to find the engagement points like I do with the Gravity Dropper. I recommend Fezzari to everyone. The bike fits me perfectly. The custom fit system works great.

The last time I rode my hardtail was the day before I got my Nebo Peak. That was July '09. I now have just over 300 miles on my Fezzari and with exception of minor tuning due to cable stretch my bike has performed flawlessly. I am riding more and at a higher level than I ever have. With all of the available adjustments it may take some time to get a set up, but once you do, don't look back! I love my Nebo Peak.

  Excellent Bike

[have had the bike for 2 years]. Excellent bike with no problems i did change tires to armadillo which worked out better in the rocks here in st. George. i have replaced some items due to wear but no adjustments i just keep riding

I am very impressed with the Nebo Peak. Awesome suspension and great handling characteristics. I needed a lower standover frame and the Nebo delivered. I also needed a good pedaler and the Nebo delivered. The snow is covering our burly trails right now, so I can't wait to test its downhill prowess in the spring. Thanks Fezzari, the Nebo Rocks!

  Great Bike!

i have had my nebo peak for about 3 years and no major adjustments needed. i have replaced some things from wear and tear the volcanic rock here in st. george area is brutal on bikes. yes i did go to armadillo tires, other than that this is the best bike that provides tons of fun on the mountain. keep up the great work.

  No worries with this bike

I purchased my Nebo a little over a year ago. I was a little nervous because I believe you get what you pay for and there was a big difference in price with the competition. However, I figured the components were the same and went for it. Well, I have zero regrets. The bike rides sweet. The only thing I've changed out are the tires to a more agressive tire for the conditions I ride in Ohio and surrounding states. If you're like me and occassionally ride your XC bike like a downhill - be confident that the bike will hold up. I've sent it flying many times and it's always held up strong. Great price, great bike!

  Impressed!

Now that I've been riding my new bike for a couple of weeks I can say I'm happy with my decision. I attempt to ride 4 or 5 times a week at about 10 miles each trip. Today was up the dirt road to the top of the First Divide and ride the single track home. Although that seems to be a good training course I think I'd like to reach the top of the Third Divide adding a few more miles to the ride. I'm not as concerned about the 2,000 ft climb as I am about the unaccompanied ride down the Downieville Downhill! A lot of folks have looked your bike over and seem as impressed as I am.

  Excellent bike, excellent company!

I purchased my Nebo nearly a year ago. After exhaustive research and many test drives I had decided that the Ellsworth Epiphany was the best All Mountain bike. Then I discovered and test drove the Nebo—and I liked it better even ignoring the fact that the Nebo direct from Fezzari was about $2,000 less expensive with comparable components. Your 23 point setup resulted in a bike that fit better than anything I have ever gotten from a local bike shop, and Fezzari employees took the time to answer all of my questions. Fezzari even let me upgrade it to a tubeless Deore XT wheelset for lighter weight and lower rolling resistance at a reasonable cost. The entire experience was great and I love the bike. Thanks again!

  2009 Nebo Rocks!

I just picked up the 2009 model a week ago from Fezzari and LOVE IT!! I've had a Santa Cruz and there is NO comparison. This bike absolutely rocks. It's better handling on the trail, it climbs better, and it corners better. This is the best buy for your money - bar none!

  Awesome bike

I bought this bike about 5 months ago, and I've ridden it hard in the mountain of Utah (and on Nebo mountain where this bike was named for!) This bike rocks. My only complaint is that I don't have enough time to ride it as much as I would like! For you hard core bikers, don't let the price fool you. You get more bike for your money with Fezzari for sure. My wife and I love our two Fezzari bikes - keep up the good work guys.

If you are reading this then you have found your needle in the haystack!! After days of shopping over a half dozen bike shops, road testing almost every conceivable brand and receiving a great deal of excellent expert advise, discovering Fezzari made it real simple. The Nebo Peak handled the Wasatch Crest Trail like a champ and is without question the best full suspension all mountain bike for the money on the market today.

  One sweet ride!

Thanks for all the help! I was somewhat skeptical about ordering a bike over the phone without a test ride. However, your sales team took the time to acquire the right info in order to make the bike fit. And it fits me perfectly. All the components speak for themselves - one sweet ride! Makes the trails plush for this "almost" 40 year old.

  Love this bike

I've been riding this bike now for 6 months and I absolutely love it. I have taken it on trails that no bike should go on and it is rock solid. No question, the best bike for the money -- bar none!

  You guys get an A+

I just purchased the Nebo Peak from you guys. You told me that it would be 4-5days for the custom setup, and 2 days for shipping. EVERYTHING was exactly as you said, and the bike was exactly as you said. Your service and product are outstanding. I own and operate a small business and truly appreciate your customer service. As in my business, service is of the utmost importance, and you guys get an A+. Thank you.
