Происхождение
The Introvert was Author's 27.5" carbon answer to XC racers who preferred the snappier, lighter feel of 27.5" wheels over 29ers. At its peak it fielded a FOX Step-Cast fork, Shimano XT drivetrain and brakes, and MAVIC Crossmax Pro UST wheels — a full XC race spec matching bikes costing significantly more. The model was phased out as the industry moved predominantly to 29" XC after ~2018.
