The King. Despite our general proximity to Graceland, we're not talking about Elvis here. All kidding aside, Ventana has taken care of business applying the secrets of their cult favorite El Saltamontes to a 29er platform to produce Ventana El Rey -- a fast-rolling, straight tracking, stable trail bike. Featuring excellent 2.4 tire clearance (though we've fit the 2.55 WTB Weirwolf LT tires without issue) and four inches of travel, El Rey is sure to be a hit worthy of the Jungle Room.

El Rey utilizes a Fox Float R Shock and Ventana’s tried-and-true, low compression suspension design to yield 4” of plush, bob-free rear travel in a non-Horst linkage, non-VPP suspension platform. The suspension design is much like Ventana’s heralded El Saltamontes, yielding an amazingly stiff, responsive frame. With 4” or rear travel, a well-built chassis, and 29” wheels, El Rey cruises over nearly any obstacle with ease and is a terrific all around trail bike.

El Rey is built with Ventana’s proprietary butted and ovalized 6061-T6 aluminum tubing. It has an internally butted bottom bracket shell, and a one piece CNC-machined bottom bracket shell and main pivot, plus an internally butted headtube with wrap-around gusseting to enhance stiffness and durability. A CNC machined brace above the bottom bracket helps strengthen El Rey, and disperse stress to the pivot points. El Rey has loads of toughness, but it's a beauty to behold, too, thanks to Ventana's legendary “Electric Sex” TIG welds and their luscious powder coat finishes. Ventana finishes the frame with a handcrafted stainless steel headbadge proudly displaying the Ventana “V” with the year of their inception, 1988.
