Free Radical Gravity

[ FRG
[Free Radical Gravity] - DH/Freeride ]

7 " (shock dependent) of rear wheel travel

Are big drops, rocky descents and pushing the steeps the order of your day? With approximately 7"* of rear wheel travel and downhill specific geometry you'll be able to take the big hits and chutes you only fantasised about.

Get the advantage with an FRG, and extend your abilities. Long travel and supple suspension, which stays fully active, even with the rear brakes locked up, means you can confidently pick your way down a rocky descent aiming for that critical launch point.

We build the FRG with resilient, thick wall Easton RAD 7005 tubes, full weight head tube with slacked out geometry. Choose your favourite geometry for your favoured trails…pick your line and carve your way down steep chutes. The only hit you'll take on an FRG is an adrenaline hit!

Did we mention the FRG pedals just as well as our acclaimed FR series! With added benefit of an uninterrupted seat tube, you can raise your seat, stretch the legs and pedal out to your favourite downhill runs. Once you’re there, drop your saddle and away you go!

Not sure about angles and specifics? Let's talk about it and get the rig built you always wanted.
