Description
- The bigger wheels roll over bumps more easily.
- They are smoother on rough trails and carry easier speed.
- The longer tire contact patches out-carve smaller wheels.

Key stats:
- Custom sizes and geometry for riders 5’4″ and taller.
- Seated pedaling is very comfortable, with very light hands.
- Unseated shredding is optimal.
- Fore/aft balance puts at least 40% of your weight on the front tire for easy, confident and fast cornering.
- Head tube is 44mm for maximum compatibility.
- Bottom bracket is threaded for ease of use.
- Dropouts are SRAM UDH so they’re future proof. Until they make a new standard.
- Depending on frame size, we include bottom and tool mounts.
- Hand made with premium Reynolds 853 tubing by an experienced, proven fabricator.
Warm Embrace Geometry:
Dialed bikes are designed specifically to prevent the most common injury crashes:
1. Over the handlebars. The relatively short reaches and tall stacks provide a RAD neutral fit with a high RAD angle. This gives you great comfort in the saddle, plus optimal range of motion for cornering, braking, descending, pumping, dropping, hopping, jumping and all the fun stuff. You forget the bike is there, and you simply enjoy the ride.
2. Washing out in turns. Warm Embrace balances your weight very close to the middle of the bike. Compared with mainstream trail bikes, Dialed bikes put 10-30 percent more weight on the front tire. This makes cornering insanely easy and confidence inspiring — the front tire just doesn’t want to wash out like on a regular bike.
RAD fit. Rider Area Distance (RAD) is the imaginary line from your bike’s bottom bracket to the centerpoint of the grips. You use this lever to maintain balance on your feet and to make the bike do cool things like turn, hop and jump. Dialed RADs are designed to fit your body size and proportions. They create comfy seated pedaling, chain-snapping peak power and flowy shredding.
Namastays. Dialed bikes don’t have chainstays. Naw, these are too long and too sweet. We call ’em Namastays. Namastays increase front tire traction and make the bike feel quieter in bumps.
Slack in Back. Dialed seat angles are traditionally slack at 74 degrees. Most bikes that are designed to be pedaled well share this seat angle. The slacker seat angle relieves knee pain, access more booty power and gives you a more open, roomy cockpit when you’re pedaling in the saddle.
