"With a dialled component package and a great value, it is hard to recommend against the Privateer to those looking for a do-it-all trail killer."

2020 ended in style for everyone here at Privateer, we were ecstatic to hear that the Privateer 141 was voted the best bike under £4.5k.

"The 161 isn’t just durable and race-ready, it’s a joy to ride"

"When there's room to straighten it out and let off the brakes the stability at speed is very satisfying"

"I love this bike. Can you tell? "

"The sorted geometry and supportive rear end can make you forget your ‘only’ on a 140mm bike, letting you push on as hard and fast as you dare, with the confidence to ride everything"

"If you're after a snappy, responsive, do-it-all trail bike with a well-thought-out spec and a riotously fun ride at an attractive price, the Privateer 141 should be high on your list!"
