You spend your days putting in laps on the mountain, and even racing from time to time. You live for blazing-fast descents, and want a solid, high-traction DH bike frame set you can spec with your choice of parts to create the DH bike of your dreams.
The tech you get
A burly alloy frame, 200 mm rear travel with a Marzocchi Bomber coil shock with a 226.7 kg spring. The FSA Orbit headset includes adjustable fixed-angle cups. Can be run with 29" wheels, 27.5" wheels or even mullet style with a 29er in front and 27.5" at the back.
The final word
A great foundation for your dream DH build. The new high-pivot suspension design delivers more traction, more speed and virtually no pedal kickback.
The Walkthrough
Why you'll love it
New suspension layout with a high pivot and idler pulley increases traction, carries more speed and reduces pedal kickback for more stability
Virtually zero pedal kickback means that you’ll stay confidently planted and in control during descents – especially when landing jumps or drops
The high pivot design delivers a more efficient rearward axle path so you’ll carry more speed and your wheel won’t get hung up on obstacles
The Marzocchi coil shock delivers a supple feel with minimal stiction and consistent performance on long, rowdy descents
Our new DH sizing system is based on reach, not rider height, which is the most important factor in a great downhill bike fit
A damn fast bike
Session allows you to hit sections at ridiculous speeds and commitment levels. It's been nothing but grin-inducing to get to know the Session so far.
Time to get out the repair stand for some maintenance? Find a detailed breakdown of your bike with part numbers, torque values and platform-specific tech instructions below.
Session’s high-pivot design results in a rearward axle path that lets the back wheel move with the rearward force from bumps, not against it. On the trail, it feels like smoother suspension that maintains more forward momentum and provides more grip.
Rock the mullet
Session comes stocked for speed with 29er wheels, but party-in-the-back riders can run a mixed setup with a 27.5˝ rear wheel, or even 27.5" front and rear for more agility.

How tall are you?
To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.
What is your inside leg?
How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
