Digit Bikes Begins Assembly of Struts for New Datum
Exciting times at Digit HQ: we are beginning to assemble the struts for our new Datum! The Digit Datum is a 140mm rear travel all-mountain/trail bike designed by Tim Lane and manufactured in California, USA. Its 27.5" rear wheel should be paired with a 29" front wheel and suspension fork having 150mm or 160mm travel. Check out some production updates below and a little bit more about the Datum if this is your first time hearing about it.
The video below shows the basic assembly steps of the strut. These are the same steps that will be followed for service. Of course, there's a little more to it than what is shown here. We left out the seals and oil fill for brevity - full instructions will be available at digitbikes.com when you need them.

ICYMI - We launched our first bike, Datum with a Digit INTEGER Strut, in 2021 through a Kickstarter campaign (which has since been fully funded). The all-new 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 was a nominee for the Pinkbike 2021 Awards: Innovation of the Year.
The culmination of years of development and ride testing on trails, bike parks, and all-mountain terrain, Datum is the reference, the middle point between XC and DH. It's a mountain bike for riding in, across, up, and down mountains. It's a bike that will deliver miles of smiles whether you're showing up for your local Wednesday Night XC World Championships or Sunday's Shred Session Enduro Series.
