    Choose Your Finish

    • Smashio — a bold painted finish that turns heads on any terrain. Protective, expressive, and built to stand out.
    • Raw — bare aluminum left in its natural state with a matte clear coat. Clean, industrial, and unapologetically honest about what it's made of.
    • Aluminum construction - strong, lightweight, and built to handle anything. External cable routing. DH certified. Dual crown compatible. Built by Genio, the best alloy frame builder in Taiwan.
    • Versatile performance - equally at home as a trail bike, enduro race bike or mini DH park bike.
    • CBF - Pedaling perfection licensed from Chris Canfield. CBF points the chainline and drive forces around the top of the chainring through 100% of travel resulting in maximum pedaling efficiency, regardless of where you are in the travel, what terrain your on, or what kind of power you are putting down. All your power goes to turning the rear wheel. The suspension can do its job completely - independent of drivetrain and braking forces.
    • I-track -  Licensed from Hugh McLeay in Australia. Mounting the pulley on the chain stay gives a mechanical pull down when pedaling to help the suspension hold still under power.
