Lee Cougan Rampage Innova XX AXS DT Swiss XRC Wheels

Lee Cougan Rampage Innova Not a hardtail. Not a full-suspension. This is something else entirely. The Rampage Innova is a revolution in cross-country bike design—a patent-pending structural suspension system that shatters every rule in XC and marathon racing. Developed with Leonardo Paez and the Soudal Lee Cougan Team, this bike isn’t just engineered, it’s imagined. I (Clark, owner of Victory Bicycle Studio) just spent four days riding this exact bike in Leadville, and let me tell you—it is wild. You don’t understand it until you’re flying down chunky descents or out of the saddle on steep climbs. This bike is light, fast, shockingly smooth, and ready to race at the absolute highest level. Why the Rampage Innova Stands Alone

• Structural Suspension with Oil Pistons (30mm Travel) A revolutionary system that eliminates traditional shocks and uses flex-tuned carbon seatstays, with custom hydraulic pistons from Gallo Moto. You read that right—real suspension with no shock weight.
• Just Over 9kg Race Weight With a sub-1300g carbon frame built using Lee Cougan’s Air Technology carbon molding process, this thing is pure featherweight performance.
• Ultra-Rigid + Vertically Compliant The “elbow design” rear triangle flexes vertically and tracks terrain beautifully, while the chainstays and front triangle remain stiff and responsive.
• Customizable Suspension Pistons can be removed and sent to Gallo Moto for custom tuning—an unheard-of level of personalization for any XC platform.
• Aggressive XC Geometry Short rear end, slacker head angle, lower top tube, and a three-bolt seatpost clamp for integrated feel and front triangle stiffness.

This isn’t a compromise between hardtail and full-suspension. It’s the evolution of both. If you’re racing at the front, chasing your fastest season yet, or simply want the most forward-thinking mountain bike on dirt—this is it.
