Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BIKE

27.5" agility and a dual‑crown spine

The FRS Park’s 27.5" wheels make the bike nimble through tight curves and quick to launch on Åre’s jump lines; the dual‑crown fork brings stability and control when the terrain gets rough.

THE TERRAIN

Made for Åre’s hoppleder and bike park trails

Set up as a pure park machine, the FRS Park is intended to be at home on Åre’s fast jump trails and park runs where playful handling and forgiving geometry matter.

THE SERVICE

Daily rentals with protection taken care of

Rentals are available daily and come with protective gear provided by the operator; bikes are returned each evening for service so the fleet is maintained between rides.
