Description
The Future of Downhill Performance
The Zerode G3 is a downhill bike built around a revolutionary approach to suspension performance. Combining a true high-pivot suspension design with the low unsprung mass of a centralized Pinion gearbox and belt drive system, the G3 delivers exceptional traction, control, and stability when riding the most demanding terrain.
The high-pivot suspension layout allows the rear wheel to move efficiently through rough sections, maintaining contact with the ground and providing confidence at high speeds. By placing the drivetrain weight centrally within the frame, the G3 reduces rear suspension weight, allowing it to react faster and perform more consistently over repeated impacts.
Built around a strong 6066-T6 aluminum frame with 200 mm of rear travel, the G3 features a premium downhill suspension package including the Fox 40 Factory Kashima fork and Fox DHX2 coil shock. The Pinion C1.6 gearbox provides smooth, reliable shifting while protecting the drivetrain from the harsh conditions found in downhill riding.
Finished with proven gravity components from DT Swiss, Maxxis, Hayes, and Title, the Zerode G3 is designed for riders who want maximum speed, control, and reliability on the world’s toughest downhill tracks.

Technology
High Pivot Suspension
The G3’s true high-pivot suspension system improves rear wheel tracking through rough terrain by allowing the wheel to move more naturally through impacts. This results in increased traction, better control, and higher confidence when riding at speed.
Pinion Gearbox & Belt Drive
The centralized Pinion C.Line gearbox places drivetrain weight closer to the bike’s center, reducing unsprung mass and improving suspension response. The belt drive system provides quiet, reliable performance with reduced maintenance compared to traditional derailleur systems.
Gravity-Focused Build
Every component has been selected for aggressive downhill riding, from the Fox Factory suspension and DT Swiss FR541 wheels to the Maxxis gravity tires and Hayes Dominion brakes.
