CHECK OUT THE FRS
The FRS Essential Dark Slate is the embodiment of freeride power. Designed to conquer the toughest bike parks and technical downhill trails, this bike delivers unmatched control and agility. Whether you're carving through the iconic Whistler Mountain Bike Park or tackling the rugged terrain of Moab’s Whole Enchilada Trail, the FRS offers a ride that feels connected to the earth, thanks to its 27.5" wheels that provide exceptional ground contact and stability from the first moment of suspension travel.
Tested and trusted by pros, the FRS helped Brett Rheeder secure victory at the 2022 Red Bull Rampage, proving its capability to excel on the steepest, most challenging descents. For even more adaptability, you can customize your ride with a specific insert, choosing between the "Sensitive" position for enhanced grip or the "Responsive" position for a more playful and agile ride.
HOW TO ADJUST THE KINEMATICS
FRS ESSENTIAL DARK SLATE – Built for Pure Freeride Performance
Premium Components for Maximum Control
Equipped with a top-tier suspension combo from FOX RACING SHOX, the FRS Essential is built for those who demand precision and durability. The FOX 40 Performance fork and Float X2 Performance shock, both featuring air springs, offer intuitive, easy-to-adjust settings to suit any rider’s size or preference.
Unmatched Braking Power and Reliability
For ultimate stopping power, the TRP DH-R Evo brakes with 203mm discs provide the confidence and modulation needed for high-speed descents. Whether you're shredding the trails of Trestle Bike Park in Colorado or the fast, technical lines at Highland Mountain in New Hampshire, you'll always be in control.
Smooth Shifting and Bombproof Durability
The SRAM GX DH drivetrain ensures flawless, precise gear changes specifically designed for downhill riding. Paired with SPANK Spike Race 33 rims and reinforced hubs, this setup delivers the strength and reliability needed for conquering any freeride destination, from Angel Fire to Mammoth Mountain.
Ultimate Traction for Any Terrain
For grip and control on a wide range of surfaces, the FRS is fitted with a MAXXIS Assegai and Minion DHRII tire combination, both with downhill casing. Whether you’re ripping through the rocky, technical trails of Northstar or flowing through the loamy dirt at Kingdom Trails, these tires will keep you glued to the trail.
