Freeride Mountain Bike Frames

Freeride mountain bike frames are similar to those of downhill bikes, but are designed to be more versatile.

A freeride mountain bike frame is generally constructed from aluminum or steel, with steeper head tube angles and shorter wheelbases to increase their stability in low-speed courses. It generally has a rear suspension system, mainly single-pivot systems for extra strength.

In addition, single-crown forks being the most popular among manufacturers. The appeal of the single-crown fork is that most modern versions are nearly as strong as a dual-crown fork, but permits a narrower steering diameter and makes it easier to do airborne tricks. It’s also easier to pedal than a downhill mountain bike frame, and more versatile for use on cross-country trails courses as well.

Most freeride mountain bike frames are smaller than a typical downhill frame, and lighter as well. However, there are other models that are heavier, with strength and durability taking precedence over lightness and maneuverability. Either way, these frames are designed to make it easier to do tricks and take on obstacles with style.
