CHECK OUT THE FRS

The FRS Essential is built for the ultimate freeride experience, perfectly suited for the UK's diverse riding conditions—from smashing down Fort William’s legendary World Cup track to sending it at Revolution Bike Park in Wales. Designed for riders who demand performance in all settings, this downhill beast thrives in bike parks and natural terrain alike.

HOW TO ADJUST THE KINEMATICS


FRS ESSENTIAL DARK SLATE

Equipped with 27.5" wheels, the FRS offers precise ground contact and balanced handling, whether you're ripping the steep lines at Innerleithen or tackling Black Mountains' raw trails. The suspension is finely tuned for British weather, with the FOX 40 Performance fork and Float X2 shock giving you confidence through both mud-soaked rock gardens and dry jump lines at Wind Hill B1kepark.

Adaptability is key with the FRS. Choose between two riding modes—Sensitive for enhanced grip on wet, technical trails like Hamsterley Forest or Responsive for quick flicks and jumps on Farmer John's freeride lines in the Peak District. The TRP DH-R Evos brakes, with 203mm rotors, ensure precise control when dropping into Glentress's forested descents or sending it on the technical features of BikePark Wales.

Built for both the core freeriders and weekend warriors alike, the SRAM GX DH drivetrain guarantees smooth, reliable shifting, even through Northern England’s rock-strewn paths. Plus, the bombproof SPANK Spike Race 33 rims and a MAXXIS Assegai and Minion DHR II tyre combo ensure grip and reliability in all conditions, from the chalky trails in the South to the loamy terrain in the Scottish Highlands.

If you’re after a ride that blends technical mastery with the durability to handle everything from Red Bull Hardline to your local urban freeride spots, the FRS Essential delivers in every aspect.
