Description
High-Pivot Suspension Meets Gearbox Reliability
The Zerode G3 is a downhill bike designed around one goal: maximum performance on the most demanding terrain. By combining a true high-pivot suspension system with the low unsprung mass of a centralized Pinion gearbox and belt drive, the G3 delivers exceptional suspension performance, allowing riders to attack rough sections, steep descents, and technical corners at higher speeds.
The high-pivot suspension design improves rear wheel tracking and keeps the bike composed through heavy impacts, while the centralized gearbox reduces unsprung weight and protects the drivetrain from the harsh conditions of downhill riding. The result is a stable, predictable, and highly capable downhill platform.
Built around a strong 6066-T6 aluminum frame with 200 mm of rear travel, the G3 features a premium gravity-focused component package. A Fox 40 Factory Kashima fork, Fox DHX2 coil shock, DT Swiss FR541 wheels, Maxxis gravity tires, and Hayes Dominion brakes create a build ready for racing, bike parks, and the biggest downhill challenges.
The Pinion C.Line gearbox provides smooth and reliable shifting while eliminating many common drivetrain issues found in traditional derailleur systems, making the Zerode G3 a low-maintenance machine built for maximum riding time.

Technology
High Pivot Suspension
The Zerode G3 uses a true high-pivot suspension layout that allows the rear wheel to move efficiently through impacts. This improves traction, control, and stability when riding fast through rough terrain.
Pinion Gearbox System
The centralized Pinion gearbox places drivetrain weight closer to the bike’s center, reducing unsprung mass and improving suspension response. It also protects the drivetrain from impacts, mud, and debris.
Belt Drive
The belt drive system provides quiet, reliable, and low-maintenance power transfer without the frequent adjustments and damage risks associated with traditional derailleur setups.
