BH is a big name in the brand's native Spain, and the Lynx 6 is designed to be a serious enduro race machine. It goes without saying then that we were looking forward to giving it a thrashing.
Swooping carbon lines
The Lynx 6 is available in alloy as well as the carbon version we tested. The Dave Weagle designed Split Pivot suspension system provides 150mm (5.9in) of rear travel. All the expected frame details are there, including a 142x12mm rear end, tapered head tube and ISCG chain guide mounts. Cables are routed internally and the swooping carbon shape around the head tube really does create a suave looking piece of kit.

For €4,599 we’d expect some pretty bling kit, especially from a direct-buy (in the UK) brand. Unfortunately we were left wanting. Although the damping at both ends can be adjusted on the fly via a single bar-mounted lever, the Fox 34 fork is the most basic Evolution series version and the CTD shock lacks the slippery Kashima coating. (To be fair, the 2016 spec looks better, with a RockShox Pike RC up front and a Fox DPS rear shock.)
