FULL CARBON, READY TO TAKE FLIGHT
The Trail Pistol pairs 120 mm of efficient Freedom Linkage-controlled travel with 29” wheels to create a bike that’s quick and nimble, but with enough grit to handle the chunk when things get more technical. Our singletrack flyer is now Fully Revved from front to rear, rendering it 300 grams lighter and 50% stiffer.
Lightweight construction paired with aggressive geometry creates an efficient pedaling platform on the way up, that will surprise you on the way down. For those that don’t want to follow the rules for what a short travel trail bike is capable of, the Trail Pistol is for you.

Frame Features
- Revved Carbon Technology
- GG Modular Frame Platform with GeoAdjust Headset
- Freedom Linkage - Our proprietary suspension design that provides a wide adjustment range and is versatile enough for air or coil shocks.
- Integrated-External Cable Door - Combines the sleekness of internal routing with the no-fuss and maintenance-friendly access of external routing
- Frame storage system - Multiple locations to mount your water bottle or tool kit bracket
- External brake hose clip system - You’ll no longer find zip ties directly on our frame. The new brake hose system “clips, twists, and inserts” to secure the hose
- Internal swingarm cable routing. - Feed the derailleur cable into the front of the swingarm, and it exits at the other end
- Molded rubber protector - A newly designed protector with recessed fit gives riders additional clearance between the crank arm and protector, and prevents catching or edge peel
- Pivot bushings, where they make sense - To create an even stiffer rear triangle interface, the updated Trail Pistol seatstay/swingarm pivot switches from ball bearings to proven IGUS bushings for lighter weight, better fit, and a longer service life
