Built for progression, built tough. The ONE-SIXTY FR 400 builds on the proven performance of our aluminium enduro frame and cranks the volume up. The music? Heavy metal, thanks to a coil sprung back end plus longer travel 180 mm fork, mixed wheel size handling for a ride that's ready to get rad. We've prioritised suspension performance and durability over drivetrain bling to create a bike that's ideal for rippers on a budget or riders that go hard every time they hit the bike park.
The ONE-SIXTY FR builds on the solid platform of our award-winning ONE-SIXTY, but cranks the volume up. It's built tough so that you can hit the bike park all day long, or just rip the toughest tracks and trails time after time, safe in the knowledge that the bike won't let you down. To boost the capability, we've added in longer travel forks pushing out 180 mm travel paired with coil shocks delivering 171 mm of rear wheel travel, mounted on our tough aluminium chassis. All bikes run a mixed 29" front and 27.5" rear wheel size for maximum manoeuvrability, whether you're ripping turns or sending it hard. However, you can switch to a full 29er setup without impacting the geometry, thanks to our flip-chip system. Our AGILOMETER sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height. At the same time, the suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, and all bikes are fitted with long-travel dropper posts.
