The Living Link™ system re-imagines and reinvents full-suspension technology to provide riders with multiple benefits over conventional systems. Read More
Leaf Spring is partially flexed, adding support in the beginning of the sag range.
A marathon speed machine with a playful spirit, the Ryve 115 is that exceptionally rare race-day bike that also shreds all-day rides with friends. Made to be ridden in either baggies or Lycra, it marks a paradigm shift for lightweight, full-suspension carbon race bikes.
The secret weapon is our Living Link™ suspension, which is engineered to be ridden wide open on climbs. No lockout required. The suspension’s titanium leaf spring stores compressed energy and releases it at the optimal time in the pedal stroke to provide an uphill power boost. A dropper post puts you in the optimal position for fast descents and, paired with Living Link™, enables you to confidently air out trailside features. Thanks to a carbon frame designed to Spot’s exacting standards, complete bikes start at just 24.2 pounds with 120mm of travel front and 115mm rear.
Other ingenious features include Groovy Guides that integrate the rear brake line into the tube for simplified access and clean protection, and our DoppelBox lower shock mount with a double-boxed structure for increased stiffness. Our carbon Rocker link is ultra-light and stiff, utilizing a trunnion mount for a compact design that delivers small-bump sensitivity and longer service life.
Out-of-the-saddle efficiency, best-in-class suspension performance, nimble climbing and aggressive descending: the Ryve 115 rewrites the playbook for marathon race machines. It’s big bike performance in a lightweight package.
The beating heart of the Ryve’s ride performance is the titanium leaf spring technology that has won our patented Living Link™ suspension platform numerous accolades and awards. The animation above helps to visualize the special qualities of Living Link™ and its ability to store and release energy that boosts pedaling performance. At rest (or when airborne), the Living Link™ leaf spring is relaxed. As the suspension compresses, the leaf spring begins to flex, supporting the rider and widening the sag sweet spot. As the leaf spring continues to flex it stores energy that assists the system’s compression until, at full-bottom-out and maximum compression, it returns to a relaxed state. As the bike’s suspension enters its rebound phase, the leaf spring goes from relaxed to partially flexed, storing and controlling rebound energy. Midway through the rebound, the leaf spring is fully flexed, a position in which it is fully loaded up with rebound energy. As the rebound continues toward its relaxed state, it releases that stored energy to provide a slight power boost.
Living Link™ also addresses a flaw of typical suspension systems: lateral and torsional flex. The titanium leaf spring, which is manufactured locally by a Colorado aerospace components manufacturer, is extremely stiff laterally and firm torsionally. Think about a metal ruler. It is easy to bend across its flat surface but tipped on edge that ruler is virtually impossible to bend. What that means is the Ryve carves hard, with a solid connection between the front and rear triangles.
At rest, the Living Link™ is relaxed, with no stresses imposed. As the suspension compresses, the titanium leaf spring flexes. When the rear axle reaches a point approximately halfway through its travel range, the leaf spring reaches its maximum flex. As the rear axle reaches full compression, the leaf spring relaxes again. The result is a spring contribution to the suspension system. Consider it a boost of superpower when you most need it on long technical climbs.
The Living Link™ also improves riding efficiency. It does so by enhancing the spring curve in the mid-stroke of the suspension travel. How? By working in tandem with the shock’s air spring to make the overall curve more linear in the middle of its travel. A more linear curve increases the suspension response in the mid stroke, where a bike spends most of its time. It’s simply a higher quality ride experience than any other suspension technology on the market.
Living Link™ also addresses a flaw of typical suspension systems: lateral flex. The titanium leaf spring provides dynamic flex vertically, but it is superpower stiff laterally. Think about a metal ruler. You can easily bend it with your hands across its flat surface. Now tip that ruler on edge and try to bend it. No chance. The titanium leaf spring, acting as a shear plate, works the same way. It promotes and harnesses flex vertically and prevents it laterally and torsionally. Yeah, like we said, superpowered.
The Ryve 115’s DoppelBox lower shock mount has a double box structure for increased frame strength and stiffness that centralizes mass lower on the frame. Two inner walls boost torsional stiffness between the headtube and bottom bracket, transferring shock forces along the inside walls. This design protects the shock bushing by enabling moisture and trail grit to freely exit the frame, providing improved bushing longevity.
Let’s be honest, most modern suspension systems are pretty good—when brand new. But their ride quality quickly fades under real world riding. Not so with Living Link™, which reduces wear and tear by eliminating the most problematic set of bearings in typical multi-link bikes and replacing it with one titanium piece. That magical leaf spring means less maintenance, lighter weight, and one less pivot to impede efficiency. We love mechanics, but this suspension allows you to stay on the trail and out of the shop for many seasons of adventure.
The Living Link™ leaf spring is manufactured to maintain the strictest QC. And we use the same precise molding and CNC machining employed in the manufacture of ballistic military helmets and high-tech prostheses. This use of cutting-edge materials and carefully controlled manufacturing processes results in a leaf spring that can support the weight of two full size pickups. That’s pretty damn tough. So tough that we tested it in the laboratory to three million flex cycles without failure. That’s the equivalent of riding 7 days a week for 12 years. That’s some serious muscle.
Our Groovy Guides integrate the brake lines into the tube shape to eliminate the potential for snagging on rocks, branches or clothing. The guides provide a clean, modern look that also simplifies swapping out brakes for races or travel.
We are proud to live, work and play in the Rocky Mountains. The riding here is technical and rocky and aggressive. For riders of the Ryve, that means your Living Link™ system has been battle tested on epic trails. We fine-tuned the Living Link™ to handle all the nastiness that the Rockies can dish out—both uphill and down.
It delivers precision control on rowdy descents and gluey traction on technical climbs. That is a rare feat for other rear shocks on the market, which are designed to maximize performance in their “open” modes. The Living Link™ system was designed with an anti-squat response, which enables the rider to climb efficiently with the shock wide open. In addition, the kinematics of the suspension system provide a large pedaling sweet spot. The end game: you will ride more confidently both up and down. On other suspension systems, pedaling performance is compromised if the shock pressure is too high or too low. Not so with Living Link™. It delivers efficient acceleration in a large range of suspension sag settings. Riders who like it super firm, as well as those who like it plush, are all rewarded with a bike that climbs like a goat with its tail on fire. We accomplish this holy grail of climbing efficiency and descending performance by finely tuning the leverage ratio curve to work harmoniously with high quality air shocks.
The Ryve frame and its components are constructed using the most advanced processes in the composites industry. Instead of outdated tube-to-tube or conventional bladder molding, our carbon construction facility fabricates each frame using a rigid EPS foam mandrel. The mandrel is custom formed for the Ryve, and its parts are shaped in a bespoke mold that represents the shape of the volume contained within the part. The carbon fiber plies are arranged precisely on the mandrel. This technique ensures that nothing can move out of position when the mandrel and layup are inserted into the curing mold.
During the curing process the EPS foam expands uniformly, creating outward pressure on the carbon plies. The foam ensures even distribution of compaction forces on the layup throughout the part. This prevents voids and delamination. The control and consistency of this approach are unrivaled. The benefits of the highest-end materials and our superior construction methods ensure that each Ryve frame delivers years of performance and quality. Our production facility works for some of the best names in high-end bikes. We feel so strongly about our frame durability that we back every Ryve frame with a lifetime warranty.
The Ryve’s frame geometry is advanced. We designed the bike to place the rider’s weight precisely between the front and rear wheels. We accomplish this by extending the measurement between the bottom bracket and front axle. A roomy front center creates a stable ride, and mistakes are less consequential. The seat tube has been steepened accordingly, as this helps keep the rider’s weight between the wheels. This geometry eliminates front-end lift and makes technical terrain easier to conquer. All of this means you spend less energy balancing your bike, allowing you to feel fresh and juiced up for those burst of power that allow you to drop your buddies.
The steep seat tube angle of the Ryve has descending benefits as well. Equipped with a dropper seat post, the Ryve positions the seat farther forward in the dropped position. This gives you more room to move on difficult descents, placing you in an optimal position for more aggressive riding. You can personalize your seat angle by simply moving your saddle forward or back.
While people range vastly in height, weight, leg length, and other physical measurements, most mountain bikes do not scale accordingly. The Ryve provides a better size range. The seat tube angle on our XL frame is slightly steeper than the large, which brings the tall rider’s center of gravity forward on climbs.
On the other end of the spectrum, all sizes of our frames feature a low stand-over height that allows men and women with shorter inseams to find a perfect fit. We don’t skimp on the amenities for smaller riders, either. Some small frames from other brands have no space for a water bottle. Our small Ryve frame has space for a medium water bottle within the front triangle. That’s great for riders who like to bust out light and fast without a pack.
Want to Ryve it up? Riding is believing, so check out listing of demo events. At Spot Brand, we have developed a reputation for thinking outside the box and designing solutions that deliver a better ride. At the office, and in the design lab, we work in a mode of focused control. Get us out on the trail, however, and we Ryve it up!
The Ryve's carbon Rocker link on the shock is ultra-light and stiff, utilizing a trunnion mount for a compact and tidy design that delivers improved performance. Spot’s trunnion bearings are optimized for high-rotation applications. That means they reduce friction and deliver heightened small-bump sensitivity—while also giving you a vastly longer service life than traditional bushings.
We designed the brake mounts to transfer braking forces into the chainstay, allowing us to lighten the seatstay. And we positioned the mounts to protect the caliper and hose. By incorporating the mount into one machined part with the axle bore and dropout, brake alignment remains true while reducing threaded holes in the frame.
We design and test our frames to the highest standards so you can be confident in your investment. Should you have an issue with your Spot frame, we will warranty it against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the frame. Of course there's some fine print (read here), but if you buy a bike and ride it as it is intended to be ridden, we've got your back. And if you do get into a fender-bender, we have a fantastic crash replacement program as well.
Got the Ryve for my husband for his birthday; he’d been eyeing it for years. He absolutely loves this bike, and is able to go further, faster, and do more technical features than before. Customer service is 10/10.
This is a great bike that I can ride all day and get in miles and miles. The suspension really helps on the climbs and takes hits well.
Love it!
No obscure or proprietary shock is necessary. OK, it’s not a hardtail and there are times where erratic pedaling will get you a little shock movement. But never before have I ridden a suspension bike that was both this efficient and this sensitive. It’s a rocket.
Geometry is a very personal thing, but for me the Ryve is perfect. Its head angle is relaxed without being ultra-slack. Handling stays sharp while still plowing the descents.
Let’s talk quality and design. Press fit bottom brackets have earned themselves a bad reputation. But Spot provides the benefits without the trouble by using a one piece, perfectly machined alloy sleeve. The bearings slide in like butter and sit perfectly square. My crank spins beautifully and creak-free.
Have you ever seen rounded out shock hardware, even on brand new bikes? Pivots generally use a hex interface, but that doesn’t give a lot of surface area for your tool to grab. Spot thoughtfully uses T30 Torx hardware. It’s designed to provide long service life without rounding.
Derailleur and dropper housing is fully sleeved inside the frame. Push it in one end and out it pops at the other. What!? Spot doesn’t hate mechanics? Sign me up.
Here’s my favorite part. Suspension pivot bearings are generally housed within front triangles and form a narrow stance. Stays and linkages then wrap around the outside. This is the easy way to do it, but doesn’t give you great stiffness and puts additional load on the bearings. Spot flips things. Bearings…
I've had 4 ride, 2 of which were races, 1 of those was an xc marathon type race. This bike has been rock solid.
