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.

Over the course of 18 months the 161 was developed with Alastair Beckett, of Redburn Design, who has already designed EWS race winning bikes. Mixing our passion and ideas with Ali’s experience, the recipe for a rider focused bike was created.

Build Rationale


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.



SRAM are no slouches when it comes to pushing the boundaries, its Eagle 12 speed groupsets set the trend way back in 2016, and with its new refined versions now with a 52T cassette and better shifting we’ve never had it better. The brand new GX groupset is the work horse of SRAM’s line-up, giving renowned shifting, tough build and a wallet friendly price tag, it’s the perfect choice for any Privateer.

As a rider you’ll spend a lot of your time in the saddle, inching ever closer to the summit and the start of the next trail, so you want somewhere supportive yet comfortable to sit. Touch points like saddles and grips are incredibly personal so finding the elusive ‘one size fits all’ is nigh on impossible, yet Fabric comes close.
The Scoop’s three-piece construction bonds a waterproof microfibre straight onto a flexible base, allowing for the use of a softer foam – not only comfortable, but super easy to clean and extremely durable. Funguy grips combine the vibration damping of a mushroom grip with the control of a micro-hex pattern and the grip of a soft compound rubber, leaving you to focus on the trail ahead.

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.

Do the tyres come set-up tubeless?
Your tyres will arrive set up with inner tubes. To switch, simply remove the inner tubes and fit a tubeless valve and sealant.

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?"

Love all her books but this one on Kindle has no color
Format: Kindle
Love that she sends free books for Kindle but this one is all black and white inside. For children should have lots of color, first time being disappointed but still good book

My son didn’t enjoy reading independently before this book
Format: Paperback
My son is 7, in 2nd grade. I got him this book in his Easter basket. Tonight he voluntarily picked it up, read the first chapter, was laughing, and then told me about it!! He’s never voluntarily picked up and read a chapter book before other than a graphic novel ! :)

Wholesome books for young growing readers, yes please! It’s a great mix of funny and sweet that any kid will love. I love seeing the characters grow from the unicorn and dinosaurs books. I love that they are real children too. It’s a great message for kids!

‘Was Nugget’s power guiding me to help people?’ – a fantasy tale to cherish!
Format: Kindle
Diane Alber teams with Ryan Thomas in creating their PURPLE SPACE CHICKENS series, books that focus on inspiring art and creativity in children. The characters (both human and animal) sparkle throughout and the authors open with a taste of the fun to come introducing the boy Bear: ‘My name is Bear…It’s a code name I gave myself. Why a code name? Well, everyone in this book has one. Trust me, it’s better that way. I don’t want you knowing who I really am because the last thing I need is NASA asking a dozen questions - or worse, taking my little friend. But I had to document everything, because this experience is straight out of this world…literally.’ And with that intro we meet little chicken Nugget and the story sails forth with an amazingly entertaining and creative plot. There are many attributes to this series intended for grade school kids – one fine chapter book stories that will definitely continue!

Yes. definitely yes.
Format: Kindle
Rounding up from 4.5. This was a great read and has earned the title of my second favorite sapphic fantasy behind Aurora’s Angel. (Granted, there isn’t a huge amount of competition.) The two main characters are well written and there is plenty of swoon to keep you happy. It’s a slow burn (which I love) and it was done very well. The author keeps you riding on the excitement of what is to be. The longing looks, the subtle touches, the loaded dialogue. It was all great. Each interaction brought the two MCs closer together in such a sweet way. The plot was a good one and keeps you entertained without being overdone or making you too anxious. The book is well written and uses some period language (which I appreciate) without being too pretentious. It is well paced and flows very well from one scene to the next. No boring parts to suffer through. The reason for the missing half star: There were parts that I felt could have used more finesse, or maybe more explanation concerning Della’s insistence on seducing Galeon. The passion was there but it seemed like Della was being reckless at times. But maybe that was the point. I also wished that some of the supporting characters were a little more fleshed out. I wanted to know more about them. It doesn’t get nearly as deep into any aspect the way Auroras Angel did, but I don’t consider that a bad thing per se. It’s just a shorter and lighter read without as much depth. But still enjoyable Overall, this was a great book and I look forward to the future installments. Definitely recommend.
