6061-T6 Aluminum Tube Set

A blend of our proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 double- and triple-butted tubing creates a light, responsive, and durable frame with great trail feel

Rangefinder Trail Geometry

Rangefinder's long top tube, short stem, and 439 mm chainstays provide a stable ride to keep you in control on steep and technical terrain

120 mm of Front Suspension Travel

A 120 mm fork soaks up the trail and a thru-axle keeps the front end stiff for precise handling

Dropper Post Included

Drop your saddle at the press of a button to tackle steep descents and technical terrain with the included TranzX dropper post. The Rangefinder frame also provides stealth dropper post cable routing for a clean look

Cargo Capacity

The Rangefinder frame has two bottle cages on the inside of the frame, an accessory mount on the underside of the down tube, and top tube mounts for use with our EXP Series Direct-Mount Top Tube Bag. Rear rack mounting bosses are also included at the dropouts, and with the addition of a 35.0mm Rack-Lock seatpost collar, a rear rack can be fitted

Full-length housing improves shifting in poor conditions and increases the time between maintenance intervals
