Description
The Ultimate High-Pivot Downhill Machine
The Zerode G3 represents the next evolution of downhill bike design, combining a true high-pivot suspension platform with the low unsprung mass and reliability of a centralized Pinion gearbox and belt drive system. The result is an incredibly capable downhill bike that maintains suspension performance through the roughest terrain while allowing riders to carry more speed through demanding sections and corners.
The high-pivot suspension design delivers exceptional rear-wheel tracking, helping the bike absorb big impacts while maintaining traction and control. By moving the drivetrain weight into the center of the frame, the G3 reduces unsprung mass at the rear wheel, allowing the suspension to react faster and more efficiently.
Built around a durable 6066-T6 aluminum frame, the G3 features 200 mm of rear travel and a premium downhill suspension setup with a Fox 40 Factory Kashima fork and Fox DHX2 coil shock. The Pinion C1.6 gearbox provides smooth, reliable shifting while eliminating many of the maintenance concerns of a traditional derailleur drivetrain.
With DT Swiss wheels, Maxxis gravity tires, Hayes Dominion brakes, and a complete Title cockpit, the Zerode G3 is designed for riders who want maximum performance, reliability, and control on the biggest downhill tracks.
