Spider 29

The Spider 29 has also changed a bit from Interbike. The Spider 29 also features a tapered headtube and G1 dropouts like the Tracer 2. The pivot hardware receives a new collet system in the linkage for easier pivot maintenance. They’ve also created a new linkage and butted tube set for the Spider 29 and added direct mount front derailleur mounting.
