This is the Gen 7 update, bringing a completely refreshed frame with more room for long dropper posts, larger shocks, and frame bags — combined with the vibration-damping and weight benefits of OCLV Mountain Carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame uses a \u003cstrong\u003eZS (zero stack) integrated headset\u003c\/strong\u003e for wide aftermarket upgrade compatibility, along with interchangeable alloy rocker link and lower shock mount to switch between configurations. A Fox Factory Float X shock (205x60mm) is included — the Factory damper spec reflects the carbon frame's performance tier.
