The Jitsie 20″ Varial Race bike continues its evolution for 2026 — taking precision, performance, and innovation to the next level in trials.
Built around the proven Varial Race aluminium frame with triple-butted hydroformed tubes and the distinctive rear thru-axle system with integrated snail cams, the 2026 model introduces a completely renewed set of Race components for even sharper control and balance.

Highlights include a new carbon fork, 35mm carbon handlebar and 20° aluminium stem — a stiffer and lighter combination that enhances front-end feel and rider confidence. The all-new exclusive Race crankset brings new levels of efficiency and precision where it matters most, while every component on the bike has been refined for reduced weight and increased durability.

This is the platform for the future, built for the riders shaping tomorrow.
