Strive CFR Underdog

With its Shapeshifter tech, the Strive CFR combines the descending speed and capability of a downhill rig with the climbing efficiency of a trail bike. The ideal combination for hardcore Enduro racing on the toughest stages around. But how? Simply push the handlebar-mounted switch to engage the gas spring located above the shock, and switch between geometries as you ride. Pick Shred mode for maximum downhill performance thanks to a slacker head angle, longer wheelbase, and 160 mm of rear travel. Or go into Pedal mode for better climbing and maximum efficiency thanks to 140 mm rear travel, a shorter wheelbase, and 1.5-degree steeper head and seat tube angles.

You can also change the reach and wheelbase of the bike by -5/0/+5 mm by flipping the headset cup to optimize the bike's fit if you're in between frame sizes. Longer wheelbase for greater stability or shorter wheelbase for snappier handling: It's up to you.

The downtube protector shields the carbon frame from ground hits and flying stones. And a further protector on the drive side chainstay dampens noises caused by chain slap on rough trails.
