Description
The High-Pivot Downhill Foundation
The Zerode G3 Origin is the ultimate starting point for riders who want the performance of a modern downhill machine with the reliability of a gearbox drivetrain. Built around Zerode’s proven high-pivot suspension platform, the G3 combines exceptional suspension performance, durability, and control for demanding gravity riding.
The true high-pivot design allows the rear wheel to move efficiently through rough terrain, improving traction and stability when the trail gets steep, technical, and unpredictable. Combined with the centralized Pinion C1.6 gearbox, the G3 delivers a balanced ride feel with reduced drivetrain maintenance and increased protection against impacts.
The Origin build includes the essential performance components: the Zerode G3 alloy frame, Fox DHX2 coil shock, Pinion 6-speed gearbox, drivetrain, and shifter. This creates a strong foundation ready for customization or immediate downhill performance.
Built with a durable 6066-T6 aluminum frame, 200 mm of rear travel, and gravity-focused geometry, the Zerode G3 Origin is designed for bike parks, downhill tracks, and riders who demand maximum reliability.

Technology
High Pivot Suspension
The Zerode G3’s high-pivot suspension design improves rear wheel tracking through large impacts and rough terrain. This results in increased grip, stability, and confidence when riding at speed.
Pinion Gearbox System
The Pinion C1.6 gearbox replaces the traditional derailleur system with a protected, centralized drivetrain. This improves reliability, reduces maintenance, and keeps shifting consistent in harsh downhill conditions.
Gravity-Focused Geometry
With a slack 63° head angle, long reach options, and a stable wheelbase, the G3 geometry is designed for aggressive downhill riding while maintaining control at high speeds.
