Jitsie Varial Race 2026 20″ Bike 1010MM Disc/HS

Description

The 2026 Jitsie Varial Race 20″ is built for riders who want top-tier performance, exceptional precision, and the most up-to-date engineering in modern trials. This new generation continues the evolution of the Varial Race platform with upgraded components, improved stiffness, and refined geometry—making it one of the most competitive 20″ bikes available.

At the core of the bike is the latest Varial Race frame, manufactured from hydroformed triple-butted 6061-T6 aluminum for the ideal balance of strength, stiffness, and low weight. A tapered head tube, reinforced bottom bracket area, and CNC-machined disc mounts all contribute to reliable handling and confident control. The frame also features Jitsie’s exclusive 12 mm rear thru-axle system with integrated snail cams for precise chain tensioning and enhanced durability.

The 2026 model brings a fully updated front end: a new carbon fork, 35 mm carbon handlebar, and a 20° CNC-machined stem, delivering improved steering response and a noticeably stiffer feel. The bike also comes equipped with Jitsie’s latest Race crankset, upgraded wheelset components, and dedicated Race braking systems (front HS / rear disc 162 mm), all designed for reliability during competition-level riding.

To add value for riders, every Varial Race 2026 includes a dedicated spare parts kit containing essential consumables—handy for both regular practice and events.

This is a bike built for serious progression and high-level performance while staying true to Jitsie’s focus on innovation and rider-driven development.
