Eminent first emerged at the tail end of 2017, when they launched the Haste, which had 27.5″ wheels and 160mm of travel. That was followed up by the 29″ Onset LT, ST, and soon, the Onset MT.
The Onset MT is a 155mm travel 29er and will actually take the place of the Haste. That 155mm of rear travel is being paired with a 160mm fork, and it’s entirely possible to run a 170mm if you want some more party up front.
The geometry was also matched to the harder charging nature that the increased travel defined. Eminent increased the headset recess in the frame allowing them to run a -1 degree headset which brings the head angle to 64.5-degrees. There’s an addition of an XL size with 488mm reach, and all the Onset MTs benefit from internal dropper post routing.
