New for Summer of 2024!

We went back to our steezy single pivot roots for this one! Fun, slightly progressive and loaded with thrills to ensure your boring trails are given a new lease on life! 73mm BB, ISCG05 welded on, fits the newest 210×55 shocks and ready to dominate anything you throw at it. This frame punches well above it’s weight thanks to modern geometry and chromoly steel construction. Chromoly steel not only provides superior ride quality but durability that other materials just can’t match.

This is a 29″ front wheel and 27.5″ rear wheel machine. Designed around a 150-160mm fork with an ethos of balanced weight in mind, this frame will deliver smiles for miles and rejuvenate your love for mountain biking. Thoughtful geometry and material choices provide a stable, fast and well handling steed. Don’t need 140mm? Short stroke your shock to 50mm and you’ll be rewarded with 130mm of playfulness. Pair that with a 140-150mm fork and you’re ready to tackle flatter terrain with even more ease. We designed this frame for the rider that only needs 1 bike in their quiver but whether you have 2 or 10 others, we are confident this will be your favorite!

Why Chromoly?

Why Chromoly?

Chromoly is much stronger than traditional steel and aluminum alloys. Chromoly is the most earth friendly material that we’ve seen besides bamboo that’s being made into bicycles. Studies show that chromoly requires 6-11 times less energy and emissions than competing materials to mine, manufacture and process.

Most people looking to buy our frame will have their minds made up on chromoly steel frames and prefer this material for their next frame but if you’re new to or curious about this amazing material, here are some of the advantages you’ll hear from experienced riders:

Quiet

Chromoly steel bike frames possess a natural flex that absorbs sounds. While not completely silent when contact is made with rocks or roost, the ride is very stately feeling. Focus on the path ahead, not nuisances.

Durability

You’re buying a bike that will stand the test of time with proper care and maintenance. Imagine owning a bike that can be welded and repaired rather than degrade and be thrown away. Most people consider the user-friendly nature of chromoly to be a very wise investment.

Feel

Our steel full suspension mountain bike frames are engineered with controlled flex, working with the natural characteristics of heat treated chromoly and stiffening it up where it’s necessary for maximum efficiency. Chromoly tubing for a mountain bike is very thin yet incredibly strong, it has an inherent flex that people strive for in order to reduce vibrations translated to their hands and feet which works to reduce rider fatigue and increase rider comfort. Ride longer, more comfortably and much harder. Slight flex in the rear keeps the wheel planted in sharp hard turns keeping you on two wheels.

Strong

Chromoly’s strength to weight ratio rivals that of titanium yet it’s more affordable. Rest easy knowing what you’ve accepted as norm, steel is strong. Imagine a high-tech, lighter weight yet stronger alloy of steel being made into a frame for your next mountain bike. There are pluses and minuses for every known material being made into a mountain bike frame but welded seems, not glued, is something we personal feel is more solid and secure. Metal melted to metal, not piece, glued to piece. Fancy marketing words will lead you to believe other materials are “one solid piece” (“Monocoque”) but research shows that’s misleading, it’s actually multiple segments glued together into one piece which is strong too for only a comparably very short lifespan. Ride safe though, we can’t be held responsible for your new found feel of steel, ride at your own risk, ride responsible.

  1. Kevin Schmenk

    This is such a proper trail bike. As soon as I threw my leg over it, it felt like home. Ferrum nailed the geometry on this frame. I’ve tackled all kinds of terrain and have never felt like I needed more bike. From the extremely efficient power transfer and minimal pedal bob to the way it soaks up landings and drops. This bike can do it all. It climbs like a mountain goat then when you get to the top and make the turn it just goes. It generates speed quickly and maintains it through all the turns and over the rocks and roots. It is extremely stable and controlled in the tech and keeps its composure and makes you forget it’s a 140 bike. It’s very nimble in the corners and can be thrown around in the air easily. The ride is smooth and silent. On jumps it is very poppy and playful. My build is a 150/140 MX setup and has quickly become my favorite bike I’ve owned. If you’re looking for a bike that can handle anything you throw at it and put a smile on your face while doing it, this would be the one.
