Engineered enduro

An impressively light 2.45kg CFR carbon frame maximises agility and power to weight advantage. But thanks to optimised stiffness and composed, stable geometry the Strive:ON delivers heavyweight capability on the trail.

End to end performance

More stiffness doesn't translate to more speed. Engineered compliance in the seatstay and chainstay helps tune out trail chatter and increase rear wheel traction, while a stiffer front triangle ups rider confidence and front end trust when riding at race pace.

Mullet wheels

For traction, control and stability, there’s only one wheel size that’ll do when it comes to E-Enduro. And that’s both. In every test, we found mullet to be the optimal set-up for hard riding without compromising stability.

Composure:on point

The Strive:ON is smooth and stable at warp speed thanks to a 170 mm fork partnered up with 160 mm of rear travel. This combination hits the mark for enduro duties and mates perfectly with the roomy reach and slack 63.5 degree head tube angle.

Clean climbing

Slay the steepest ramps and clean the most technical climbs. The 78 degree seat tube angle and 445 mm chainstay keeps rider weight centred uphill. And with a slightly higher BB you’re less likely to have troublesome/missed pedal strikes.

Epic kinematic

Our Triple Phase Suspension principle delivers 160mm of ultra-controlled rear travel. Enhanced small bump sensivity improves traction and comfort. A stable midstroke helps riders pump and generate more speed, and the end stroke progression shrugs off harsh hits at race speed.

Rapidly reliable

The Strive:ON CFR is designed with input from our world class racers and team mechanics. We’ve taken inspiration from the brutally challenging realm of enduro motocross and married durability and reliability with on-frame innovations. So you can wrench less and ride more.

Bump and slide

Tough technical courses make rock and root collisions inevitable but that shouldn't take you out of contention. Heavily inspired by motocross skid plates, the motor cover has a railed design to keep your motor running, your chainring safe and help you slide over trail obstacles.

Silent frame protection

We developed robust frame protectors with our EWS mechanics to shield your bike from the worst racing has to throw at it. They also happen to dampen the sounds of chain slap, rock impacts and trail chatter to keep your head in the game.

Hardcore hardware

Originating from our world beating Sender CFR downhill bike, replaceable thread inserts and double sealed bearings include our proprietary grease fill. All of this helps the Strive:ON CFR survive everything from mechanical mishaps to a punishing season of riding.

Storage without the strap

Two mounting bosses under the top tube provide a fixing point for our frame storage bag. Carry all your enduro essentials without a strap marring your paintwork.
