Overview

NEW FOR 2025: Read about the improvements to the v2 Ring here

RING is a 29” wheeled trail bike offering 128mm rear suspension travel with a 140mm fork.

RING is designed and handbuilt in California, USA by Digit engineer, designer, founder, Tim Lane. Customized for you with the Cerakote color of your choosing, and assembled with a curated, ultimate performance, trail-proven component build.

Its ANALOG suspension matches both the better descending and pedaling attributes of the industry's most respected four-bar suspension systems, while delivering significantly reduced weight, carrying more water bottles, and offering improved reliability.

It does this by replacing the many parts which on other frames comprise the upper link and shock subassembly with a unified strut, named INTEGER. Hidden inside the frame, it guides the upper suspension pivot smoothly and with incredible lateral stiffness, flows more oil, squeezes more air, and has fewer parts in an easily serviceable, low motion-ratio package.

RING is a great all-rounder if you are more likely to occasionally enter an XC race than to occasionally visit a lift-assist bike park (the DATUM, which is available, is likely a better match for you if you’re more likely to do hit the bike park than enter an XC race).

  • SHOCK/STRUT: Digit INTEGER Strut (External adjustments: air pressure, LSR and LSC damping. Internal adjustments: positive air volume, negative air volume, shim adjustment of LSC, HSC, LSR, HSR), Handmade in California by Tim Lane.

Cerakote Colors

Custom Cerakote colors are available from the selection shown below.

I’ll confirm which color you want after your frame has been welded.

Cerakote is a lightweight ceramic finish, it is non-stick, looks amazing, is incredibly durable, and has graphics masked in to show the raw aluminum beneath.
