David Cachon’s Patrol 691 Evo

Patrol 691 evo
David joined Indonesian brand Patrol for 2021 and has been primarily been riding their updated enduro bike, the Patrol 691 Evo.
You might see a very Shimano-centric build here with a full Shimano XT 1 x 12 drivetrain, Shimano brakes and even Pro finishing kit (Shimano’s own component brand).
SR Suntour provides control of the Evo’s 150mm of rear wheel movement and upfront David also runs an SR Suntour Auron 160mm fork. We’ve even been told his settings with the TriAir rear shock set at 190psi and the Auron fitted with 4 volume spacers 90psi, 2 clicks of high and 8 of low-speed compression.
Vittoria launched a bunch of new tread last year and here we have the Mazza fitted to the 691 Evo. The Mazza is aimed at the trail/enduro end of the market featuring an aggressive tread pattern.
