Frame & Build Details

Frame Design

The modular design of Apogee One means all three frame components are tuned perfectly to maximize the ride feel from front to rear.

The Free-Float Module provides a stiff foundation for suspension actuation while the swingarm and front triangle are tuned to provide trail hugging flex.

The strength and durability of steel allow us to shape it for optimal flex, providing excellent handling without feeling noodly. We decoupled the frame from the suspension to achieve the best of both; a tuned frame that carves and rides smoothly with a compact, advanced suspension system that remains supple yet avoids harsh stiffness.

Key Benefits

  • Modular

    The Apogee One's modular design ensures stiffness where needed and flexibility for tuning a buttery smooth ride feel.

  • Compact

    The precision-machined Free Float Module (FFM) keeps pivots aligned for bearing longevity and small bump compliance that fits into a small package.

  • Tuned

    The steel DuoFrame is strong and durable, allowing us to shape it for optimal flex, providing excellent handling without feeling noodly.

The FFM is a Beautifully, Precision-Machined Marvel

Our Free Float Module (FFM) brings the Apogee One’s suspension pivots into a compact, beautiful, precision-machined assembly that keeps the center of gravity low for that on-rails cornering feel. We use Enduro MAX Pivot Bearings in every pivot to keep our corner-carving suspension running smooth for seasons to come.

DuoFrame Design Makes for the Best Ride Quality

Decoupling the frame and suspension means we can tune the size and response of the front and rear triangles without affecting the suspension giving the Apogee One an unparalleled fit and a ride like no other steel mountain bike out there.

Suspension Kinematics

  • Leverage Ratio

  • Anti-Squat

How It's Built

  • Made in the USA

    Every part of the Apogee One is sourced and made by our US-based team and suppliers. Frame and suspension kinematics design are all designed in-house. Each frame is hand welded in Seattle, WA. Every Free-Float Module is machined and assembled by hand in South Lake Tahoe, CA.

  • ISO Tested

    In addition to over two years of research and development, the Apogee One design is backed by ISO 4210 testing for Falling Mass, Falling Frame, Horizontal Fatigue, Vertical Fatigue, BB Vertical Load, Tire Contact Fatigue, and Pedal Fatigue.
