Building The Dream Bikepacking Full-Suspension MTB | GMBN Tech's Perfect Projects

Anna's mission, should she choose to accept it (which she definitely will), is to build the Ultimate Bike Packing machine! Something capable and utilitarian, being able to store all of her outdoor needs, whilst being rugged and advanced enough to have some fun, and transport her to the tops of the highest peaks. Shimano has provided us with the perfect drivetrain for such a job, the unstoppable Deore XT. Let's find out what she's got in store and most importantly, enjoy the process of some bike building!

We love a good bike build and Anna's Salsa Spearfish is no exception! Small and light with their fantastic frame storage boards included, we're building this up with Fox Performance Suspension, Shimano Pro components and a shout-out to Anna's friend for lending us the wheelset to get her underway! Thanks to Salsa and Shimano for providing the necessary kit ????
