INTRODUCING THE NEW 2024 ROOTDOWN.
2024 marks the year of the Rootdown V6. Our most popular hardtail model gets some tweaks and a facelift to make one of the most progressive hardtails even better. The Rootdown was first launched in 2015. At a time when 29er’s were still for light duty X/C riding, it earned a reputation for being a badass hard-charging hardtail, at home in the rough terrain around BC and the PNW. Robust tubes, detailed machining, and progressive geometry have steered the bike through five iterations and landed at the V6. |

The new Rootdown is a continuation of a story that has been evolving ever since we first started making hardtail frames over 20 years ago. We love the simplicity and purity of hardtails and revel in how capable and versatile they can be. The V6 Rootdown represents everything we’ve learned and evolved into this model to date! The Rootdown can be a bike for almost any type of ride and if you are looking for a 29er hardtail that delivers confidence and versatility in some of the most demanding terrain, the Rootdown is ready to deliver!
