We don’t know what Maccatuskil means but On-One describes what it says is the quickest mountain bike in its line-up as a "world class XC race frame ready for you to tackle your local trails with", and we can’t fault that description. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s just a harsh hammerhead with limited laughs though.
Ready to race – hard
"What does it weigh?" is the first question that any serious racer will ask about a prospective bike, and at just 11.13kg for our Large sample, On-One provides an answer that’s seriously impressive for the money and a relatively tough trail-friendly rather than XC-specific spec.
The frame certainly isn’t malnourished either, with the big-barrel head tube blending into the coffin-shaped down tube and a very broad, flat start to the top tube. The flat top tube profile then continues back, forming a shelf around the extended seat tube for impressive lateral stiffness.

The massive chainstays help channel maximum power
The seat tube locks these together equally solidly, turning from round to a broadening rectangular section where the bottle mount is and offset to the left to give space for a double chainring set-up if you want. The bottom bracket and chainstays are massive too, to channel maximum power from the mainframe all the way to the thru-axle rear.
More than an XC machine
