FRM125
Whether it be hardcore freeriding or trail riding, there really isn't any other bike that pedals better than this. The new Manitou Swinger shock combined with the Horst Linkage makes this an unbeatable package.
Redesigned linkage - the full CNC machined linkage now features a new bridging piece to eliminate any flex in the back end. We've also added a new rising rate adjustment to eliminate any 'bottoming out' problems when running in the longer travel setting. It is very plush in the initial part part of the travel and ramps up to offer a fully progressive rising rate design.
5" and 6" Travel - two travel settings to accommodate XC style freeriding and hard core downhill style freeriding.
New Formula T4 Tubing - offering a full box section head tube which is the neatest, strongest head tube junction possible, then tapers down to a round section. We've made a 25% increase in the strength without adding any weight.
Straight Seat Tube - you’ll notice we’ve straightened out the seat tube so you can now adjust your seat for technical descents, to long leg burning climbs, try that with any other brand freeride bike.
Lower Shock Mount - the lower shock mount is now a one piece CNC machined work of art with a rising rate adjustment for the longer travel setting.
Rear Dropouts - there are also new rear drop outs which are full CNC machined, incorporating a new rear derailleur hanger area which is twice the strength as the previous model.
