Features

The Alpha Gold Aluminum frame is packed with features that make your ride better. A tapered head tube gives you more precise, confident handling on the front end, while Boost 141 rear hub spacing gives you shorter chainstays for more nimble handling out back.

The right wheel size paired with your frame size gives you the perfect combination of responsiveness and control.

We route shift and brake cables through the frame to keep things clean and simple. And it looks great, too.

Going for a long ride? Rack mounts make carrying accessories a breeze.

Chainstay mounts make it easy to install a rear kickstand that stays out of your way and supports bikes of all sizes. No more laying or leaning.

Internal routing ports make it easy to add a dropper post upgrade that lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of your way for tricky sections of trail.
