V-Tach freeride frame. Nimble enough to get you into trouble. Solid enough to get you out of it.

Based on five years of development, the V-tach frame continues to grow its underground reputation as one of the world's premier free ride frames — a frame designed by a rider owned company that inherently understands what riders need and what is superfluous. Our uncompromising dedication to a truly advanced and reliable frame platform and an unwavering commitment to employing the highest quality hardware available and North American manufacturing are the foundation upon which the V-tach is designed and built.

The V-tach frame successfully combines long travel with quick North Shore maneuverability and DH stability in a surprisingly well pedaling frame. A full-length seat tube, front derailleur compatibility and proper geometry for climbing mean that the ascent to the top of your favourite FR test piece is actually a pedal, not a push.

The unique and patent pending Knolly Four by 4 Linkage is key: this technology allows us to build frames with excellent pedaling characteristics, neutral braking, no pedal feed back, impressive lateral rigidity and maximum tire clearance. Tuning options abound with both a head angle cam (useful for changing handling, compensating for shorter or taller forks and/or establishing a preferred bottom bracket height) and chain stay length adjustments. Additionally, our frames run easily accessed long stroke shocks with low leverage ratios.

V-tach frames are available with a selection of rear shocks from leading suspension manufacturers such as RockShox, Fox, Marzocchi, and Cane Creek. We also offer our flexible build kit options for customers who are upgrading their current ride as well as full build kits featuring hand picked components from the finest component manufacturers in the industry.

We believe that the V-tach is the ultimate choice for serious free ride and bike park riding.
