THE NEW ONE-SIXTY FR

The new One-Sixty FR harnesses the proven aluminium Lite frame technology of the One-Sixty and boosts it to create a bike park-ready ripper that’s robust enough to lap from dawn til dusk. More travel up front, coil sprung shocks and ‘mullet’ mixed size wheels around a tough aluminium frame and sorted suspension system mean it’s built to last with a go-big attitude that’s ready to shrug off the hits, time after time. We know that value is  important to rippers of all ages, so we’ve focussed the budget on getting the best suspension, tyres and brakes possible, rather than a fancier derailleur or lightweight kit that’s not going to stay the course.

It’s designed to be robust and affordable, focusing on maximum suspension and braking performance rather than trimming grams.
That means extra travel, coil springs and powerful brakes. Whilst uplifts and bike parks are its natural playground, it’s also the perfect choice for heavy and hardcore riders needing a machine that keeps pace with how they push.

The bike park is the natural stomping ground for the One-Sixty FR, with the robust frame, responsive handling and tough kit meaning it’s the ideal choice for riders that keep doing laps until the light fades, but it’s also a brilliant match for riders that want to take on the most demanding descents without having to resort to a downhill bike. It’s also a match for the young guns that want to push and progress their riding, but don’t have the budget for a fancy enduro bike - or want the compromises that come with a bike designed to race against the clock, whether that’s from the enduro or the downhill scenes.

The robustness and high value will also mean the One-Sixty FR is perfectly suited to the demanding world of bike park rentals, where it can cope with day-in, day-out.

Designed for extreme riding, the One-Sixty FR (category 5 bike) has a 5 year warranty covering bike park use, something few of our competitors offer.

Differing to the standard One-Sixty, the One-Sixty FR runs a mullet mixed wheel setup across all sizes. We’ve also turned up the volume by bumping the front travel up to 180 mm with a 29" wheel. This is paired with 171 mm of coil-sprung travel at the rear for super supple, fade-free performance.

The back end uses our proven FAST kinematic suspension to provide plush controlled support. It uses a low-maintenance flexstay design that gets rid of the seat stay pivot reducing weight and maintenance. The kinematic also increases in progression as you move up frame sizes so that taller, heavier riders benefit from increased bottom-out support and extra control.

The switch to a linear coil sprung shock rather than the air shocks fitted to One-Sixty models works extremely well with the FAST kinematic. The softer initial travel offers excellent small bump grip; the progressive curve provides mid-stroke support for pumping through turns and the faces of jumps, and the highly progressive ending stroke resists bottom-out forces. The bike uses the AGILOMETER sizing concept that allows riders to choose their handling characteristics independently of leg length thanks to low standover frames paired with our 230 mm travel adjustable dropper post. Choose long for stability, or short for agility - or opt for a balance of both.

We’ve also made sure the standard rubber is ready to rip, with dual casing/downhill and tubelessready tyres fitted as standard. The same goes for the wheelset, which comes in for a beating every time the bike hits the trail - we’ve gone for tough, reliable kit  that’ll suck up flat landings, cased lips and berms that want to tear the tyres off.

The One-Sixty Lite frame has been proven out in the real world, the P-FLEX flexstay design has also passed the hardest independent lab fatigue tests with flying colours. That’s why we’re confident to offer a five year warranty for the hardest Category 5 use category, something very few other manufacturers do, even for their downhill bikes.
