Kilmė

"Snabb" is Swedish for "fast", chosen because NS Bikes wanted a single word that transcended language barriers in the pan-European market. The Snabb launched circa 2015 as NS's first serious foray into the enduro segment, built on lessons from the Fuzz downhill platform. The 4-bar Horst Link was chosen for its predictable, brake-jack-free behaviour — critical on sustained enduro stages.
