"The brand has been pioneering belt-driven bikes for over a decade with great success, and it is taking its knowledge to the next level. Today, Priority dives headlong into full suspension bikes with the all-new Vanth. With 165mm of rear wheel travel, a Pinion C1.9i gearbox, and Gates Belt Drive, the Vanth is a serious contender for one of the most intriguing bikes of the year, and an exciting new endeavor for the brand."
"Named after a winged spirit guide from Etruscan mythology, Vanth is most commonly associated with death and the transition to the underworld; however, she is also regarded as a protector who can shield heroes from danger. The Vanth was designed to help riders explore new terrain with composure and confidence. Like its mythological namesake, it stays composed during chaotic situations, acting as a steady guide for challenging rides. With the Vanth, Priority offers reliable gearboxes, straightforward belt-drive systems, and genuine suspension innovation."
The Vanth is a full-suspension mountain bike featuring 165mm rear wheel travel and a 170mm fork. The bike uses a 9-speed Pinion C1.9i gearbox paired with a Gates Belt Drive for low maintenance and reliable shifting. The frame combines an aluminum front triangle with a carbon swingarm using the Stillpoint suspension design to achieve efficient suspension kinematics. The Vanth runs mixed wheels and has aggressive geometry: 64° head-tube angle, 78.5° seat-tube angle, 448mm chainstay length, and size-specific wheelbases (S1 1230mm, S2 1269mm, S3 1309mm). Gearbox service intervals include an oil change approximately every 6,000 miles.
