Fezzari launches three new alloy 130mm trail bikes

All three new 130mm trail can be run as 29ers or 27.5 plus.

Fezzari Bicycles, the Utah-based direct-to-consumer seller of mountain bikes and road bikes, has announced three new aluminum mountain bikes: the Cascade Peak, Abajo Peak, and Wiki Peak. All three utilize 130mm of rear travel and can be run as a 29er or 27.5+ set-up. And as usual, Fezzari builds every bike to a rider’s measurements, utilizing its 23-point custom setup.

“The goal was simple: create the best bikes we’ve ever built,” said Tyler Cloward, director of product at Fezzari. “The bikes had to be fast, they had to be fun, they had to inspire confidence, and they had to take the rider to places they’ve never been before.” Press play to learn more.

The heart and soul of these new bikes is what Fezzari is dubbing its new Tetra-Link suspension design combined with Fezzari’s GA-Link geometry. The Tetra-Link suspension, says Fezzari, has kinematics that have been refined to increase pedaling efficiency.

Fezzari says it’s also designed a very progressive suspension to give an incredibly plush ride. This leads to great small bump sensitivity while preserving mid-stroke support, they say. Additionally, the design is claimed to ensure the suspension stays active under braking, even through technical sections. Key angles include a 66.4-degree head angle, 75-degree seat angle, and 432mm chainstays.

The Cascade Peak has internal cable routing for drivetrain, brakes, and dropper post (if you decide to upgrade from the stock rigid post).

Meanwhile, Fezzari’s GA-Link geometry allows you to adjust the geometry for 27.5+ or 29er wheels while maintaining a consistent bottom bracket height between the two platforms.

“These frames are the best we have ever built,” added Cloward. “They have better pedaling for optimal rider energy, smoother descending to instill confidence, and a more active, lively suspension design to provide the best experience. We’ve spent two years designing, riding, and manufacturing to bring these bikes to market. We know these are the best bikes we’ve ever built.”

At under $2000, the new Fezzari Abajo Peak is a highly compelling proposition.

Like all Fezzari bikes, they are backed by Fezzari’s No Risk, Just Ride Guarantee, which includes a lifetime warranty and a 30-day Love It or Return It Policy. Here’s a rundown of pricing and spec for the new bikes.
