Hey Frey family! Our new model, Frey Dopamine, has been released on May 5^th in Shanghai, China.

 

Our new model is designed with enthusiasts in mind. In the co-creation survey conducted before, we received 112 suggestions, some of which were as long as 1000 words. A lighter EMTB, a more affordable EMTB, and a better EMTB design have become the top proposals of users.

With these preferences in mind, we have developed a new model that meets these criteria and is sure to satisfy the demands of the enthusiast market.

 

Dopamine Advanced/PRO is equipped with an 840Wh battery pack, weighing 3.6kg, and the latest Bafang M560 750W eMTB system, with the motor weighing 3.3kg. Frey aims to achieve the best balance between power, range, and bike weight.

Technical Details:

1. Geometry 

Our bike features an aggressive geometry that's designed for forest trails or enduro riding. The 64.3-degree head tube angle is perfectly matched with a 150mm travel front fork, providing an ideal balance of stability and agility. For riders who crave the thrill of downhill riding, we've also provided maximum support for a 160mm travel front fork, which pairs with a more aggressive head tube angle of 63.8 degrees - perfect for tackling steep descents with confidence and control.

 

2. Adjustable Linkage Ratio 

We designed an inverted module (the first Frey model with an inverted module) for different riding styles and road conditions, with a progressive adjustment of 24-31%. Whether you prefer a grounded riding style or a jumping riding style, you can get the most suitable linkage ratio without changing the frame geometry. We even can offer custom linkage ratio services within the range. Each module provides two specific linkage ratios. Compared to buying a new bike, this is much more convenient.

 

3. Short Chain Stay 

FREY Dopamine boasts a shorter chain stay, measuring 450mm for its 29-inch frame, allowing for a more agile and responsive handling experience. This design ensures that riders can easily navigate tight turns and technical terrain, making it an excellent option for those seeking a nimble and versatile ride.

 

4. Low Center of Gravity& High Pivot 

By utilizing a low position for the shock absorber and a lower standover height, our bike's overall layout has been designed to achieve a remarkably low center of gravity, which brings it closer to the bottom bracket. As any experienced rider knows, the closer the center of gravity to the bottom bracket, the greater the bike's stability, control, and maneuverability - making it much easier to perform technical maneuvers with confidence and precision. In addition, with the high pivot design, riders can experience a more exhilarating and comfortable ride.

 

5. Full Internal Wiring& Vacuum Wheelset 

The standard version of the bike comes with regular external wiring as default, while the custom version offers the option of full internal wiring, for a sleek look. For those looking to upgrade, we offer the option of vacuum wheelsets, not included in the standard version.

 

6. Wheel Replacement Module 

In the design process, we took into account the various demands for wheel sizes, and thus incorporated a replaceable rear derailleur hanger to accommodate two different wheel sizes: 27.5" & 29". If you are considering wheel diameter conversion in the future, you can purchase the corresponding module.

 

7. UDH Rear Hanger

The derailleur hanger is compatible with the UDH rear hanger, allowing for seamless connection to the latest SRAM wireless derailleur.

 

8. Integrated Inner Hexagonal Tool 

We integrated a 6mm inner hexagonal tool into the rear through an axle wrench for the convenience of quick and easy tightening some screws on the bike, eliminating the need for carrying extra tools.
