Session AL Frameset gives you the perfect foundation for building your ideal downhill machine. Its high-pivot suspension design keeps you nimble, planted, and fast through the roughest lines, while the burly Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame is built to handle repeated hits on steep, technical terrain.
- New suspension layout with a high pivot and idler pulley increases traction, carries more speed, and reduces pedal kickback for more stability
- Virtually zero pedal kickback means you’ll stay confidently planted and in control during descents—especially when landing jumps or drops
- The high pivot design delivers a more efficient rearward axle path so you’ll carry more speed and your wheel won’t get hung up on obstacles
- The Marzocchi coil shock delivers a supple feel with minimal stiction and consistent performance on long, rowdy descents
- Our new DH sizing system is based on reach, not rider height, which is the most important factor in a great downhill bike fit
All speed, no hang-ups
Session’s high-pivot design results in a rearward axle path that lets the back wheel move with the rearward force from bumps, not against it. On the trail, it feels like smoother suspension that maintains more forward momentum and provides more grip.
Rock the mullet
Session comes stocked for speed with 29er wheels, but party-in-the-back riders can run a mixed set up with a 27.5˝ rear wheel, or even 27.5″ front and rear for more agility.
A better way to produce aluminum
Starting in 2024, we began removing high-emission aluminum from our manufacturing and replacing it with low-emission aluminum made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly every alloy bike we make – this one included – had made the switch, driving a major drop in our footprint.
