Strive CFR

A more taught, steeper and more efficient chassis helps when attacking on climbs and sprinting long traverses.

Pedal Mode steepens the bike’s angles by 1.5º, raises the BB by 15 mm and reduces the rear suspension leverage. This means a firmer feel and reduced overall rear travel to 140 mm.

Feel the bike hunker down to deliver a lower, more stable feeling that loves to charge down the steepest, chunkiest trails at warp speed.

Shred Mode lowers the BB by 15 mm, slackens the angles by 1.5º and unlocks the full 160 mm of rear travel. The result is a softer, more compliant setup that hunts out traction and keeps you on track.

The Strive CFR is more confident at speed than ever before. Thanks to increased stiffness, longer reach, a slacker head tube and improved body position, riders can find more traction and stay composed when the pressure's on.

As a bike designed to take our CLLCTV racers to the top step of EDR World Cup podiums, we built the Strive CFR exclusively around 29er wheels. A larger tyre footprint increases traction and rollover helping riders carry more speed. This is one fast setup.

Working with the best riders in the world taught us that just because a setup works for one rider, it doesn’t necessarily work for another. Reach and wheelbase can be adjusted on the Strive CFR by +/- 5 mm thanks to headset cup inserts that offer riders 10 mm of total adjustment. Fit and forget based on your preferences.

With input from our EDR World Cup Team mechanics, we've dialled in frame protection on the Strive CFR. From chain slap to rock strikes, we want your ride to stay safe and silent on the trail.

Double-sealed bearings help the frame's pivot points run smoothly race after race, month after month. A neat additional seal around the linkage bolts defends against mud and water coming into contact with the bearings. Our proprietary grease fill stays put and further protects against water ingress and corrosion so you’re ready to ride in the harshest conditions.
