syncros components are divided into levels according to intended use. For some products, different materials are used to create products with differing strengths and weight ratios. At the top end, carbon fiber has the greatest strength to weight ratio and is used in bars, seatposts, and one sexy chain guide. 7075 alloy is used for all high end alloy components, while 2014 and 6061 are used in products where outright strength are a bigger priority than saving weight.

FR
When we designate something with FR, it means “designed to withstand serious abuse”. From the slimy roots and rocks of the North Shore, to the bike park or the downhill course, FR components will help keep the rubber side down.

AM
Every year it seems like a new category of mountain bike comes along, and we’re as confused about some of them as you are. It might not be enough to just call it a mountain bike anymore, but to us All Mountain captures the original spirit of the ride. Up, down, and everything in between, if you use your bike to escape from silly things like categories, you’re probably going to like what our All Mountain series has to offer.

FL
Our FL series is self-explanatory as long as you know that L stands for light. Pick up one of these parts and you’ll find your own adjective for the letter F. Whether you’re counting grams to get an extra edge on the XC course or just trying to get further into the backcountry – and back – FL parts will lighten your ride without sacrificing the strength and reliability that syncros parts have always been known for.
