The bottlerocket is back!
We are excited to re-introduce one of the most legendary bikes in our history, the bottlerocket! Just like the original model, the all-new bottlerocket was designed around the progression of trail building and the culture of freeride. The 100% purely freeride focused model is proudly dual 27.5" specific and the same frame can be run at 180 or 200 mm rear travel, with single crown and dual crown builds. The alloy frame has multiple adjustment options allowing riders to get the exact feel they are looking for, making it ready for huge hits, surfing scree, zesty bike park lines and anywhere else that inspires you. Built in collaboration with our freeride athletes, this bike is 100% for riders, by riders.
Chips and salsa
Everyone loves chips and salsa! In this case, c.H.I.P.S. (changes height independently of progression setting ) and s.A.L.S.A. (super awesome length stay adjusters) give you the ability to dial in your suspension curve, bb height, headtube angle and chainstay length for exactly how, and where you like to ride.
C.H.I.P.S. (changes height independently of progression setting)
These 4-way adjustable lower shock mount bars allow you to choose between a more linear, or more progressive leverage curve, as well as a higher/steeper, and lower/slacker bb height/headtube angle. For those looking to hit massive jumps, the linear progression setting will provide a supportive, stable platform to blast off into the stratosphere. For those looking to eliminate every braking bump in sight, the more progressive curve will be your friend, while providing ample bottom out support. Easily setup your leverage curve to your preference, while being able to independently choose between a steeper hta and higher bb, or slacker hta and lower bb setting. All easily accessible at the lower shock mount with our c.H.I.P.S. System.
S.A.L.S.A. (super awesome length stay adjusters)
Nothing compliments c.H.I.P.S. Like s.A.L.S.A. The bottlerocket is equipped with bolt-on rear drop outs that allow riders to choose the chainstay length that's perfect for them. With 0mm, 5mm, and 10mm options, you'll be able to tune the spice levels according to your riding. Find the perfect balance to manual, jump, and rip every turn.
Features
Bolt-on protection
Shred more, worry less with the new downtube protection designed specifically for the bottlerocket. Robust rubber downtube protection prevents rock chips and shuttle wear around the mid and lower downtube areas. These are held securely in place with two small fasteners and easily replaceable when the time comes.
Gravity cast bb area
This section of the frame is a single gravity-cast piece that is simple, strong, and precisely aligned. The process allows us to create a complex shape that integrates the c.H.I.P.S. System while preserving deep dropper post insertion, all with fewer welds for added strength and reliability.
Forged rocker and chainstay
For freeride, confidence is everything, and the last thing we want you worrying about is your bike. To ensure the bottlerocket will take hit after hit, we built new, forged rockers and chainstays, each with their own bridge to add incredible strength, and stiffness. Together these pieces ensure suspension movement is as smooth as possible while minimizing rear end flex, tire rub, and staying strong for seasons on end.
