The bottlerocket is back!
Built for those that color outside the lines.
We are excited to re-introduce one of the most legendary bikes in our history, the bottlerocket! Just like the original model, the all-new bottlerocket was designed around the progression of trail building and the culture of freeride. The 100% purely freeride focused model is proudly dual 27.5 specific, and the same frame can be run at 180mm or 200mm rear travel, with single crown and dual crown builds. The alloy frame has multiple adjustment options allowing riders to get the exact feel they are looking for, making it ready for huge hits, surfing scree, zesty bike park lines, and anywhere else that inspires you. Built in collaboration with our freeride athletes, this bike is 100% for riders, by riders.
Bolt-on protection
shred more, worry less with the new downtube protection designed specifically for the bottlerocket. Robust rubber downtube protection prevents rock chips and shuttle wear around the mid and lower downtube areas. These are held securely in place with two small fasteners and easily replaceable when the time comes.
Forged rocker & chainstay yoke
for freeride, confidence is everything, and the last thing we want you worrying about is your bike. To ensure the bottlerocket will take hit after hit, we built new, forged rockers and chainstays, each with their own bridge to add incredible strength, and stiffness. Together these pieces ensure suspension movement is as smooth as possible while minimizing rear end flex, tire rub, and staying strong for seasons on end.
Gravity cast bb area
this section of the frame is a single gravity-cast piece that is simple, strong, and precisely aligned. The process allows us to create a complex shape that integrates the c.H.I.P.S system while preserving deep dropper post insertion, all with fewer welds for added strength and reliability.
