Freeride MTB Frame (Travel: 170-180mm)

MK’s Freeride MTB Frame is developed for gravity-focused riding on natural terrain, where impact resistance and structural strength are essential. The key frame characteristics below explain how the frame is designed to support aggressive freeride use in demanding mountain environments.

• Impact Tolerance for Freeride Riding

  Freeride riding places extreme stress on the frame through large drops, hard landings, and repeated high-impact forces. The frame uses reinforced aluminum construction to handle these loads, while a 148mm Boost rear spacing increases the width of the rear triangle, creating a stronger and more rigid structure around the rear wheel. This wider stance helps distribute impact forces more effectively during hard landing, improving structural stability and durability under aggressive freeride use.
  
  

• Long-Travel Suspension for Aggressive Terrain

  With a suspension travel range of 170-180mm, the frame is configured to manage severe terrain features such as rock faces, steep roll-ins, and uneven landings. The long-travel setup helps absorb heavy impacts and maintain composure through rough sections, supporting confident riding in demanding, unpredictable terrain.
  
  

• Stable Handling on Steep and Irregular Terrain

  Natural freeride terrain often lacks surfaces or defined lines. Wheel size plays an important role in how the bike behaves in these conditions. Larger wheels help the bike roll more smoothly over rocks and rough ground, while smaller wheels can feel easier to manage on steep or confined sections. By supporting 27.5”, 29”, and mixed (mullet) wheel configurations, the frame allows riders and brands to select a setup that suits their freeride style and terrain preferences.
  
  

• Customizable Platform for Freeride Applications

  The frame platform supports a wide range of customization options to meet different freeride goals and market needs. Elements such as suspension kinematics, wheel size configuration, cable routing, tire clearance, and welding style can be adjusted, allowing the frame to be tailored without altering its core gravity-focused intent.
