Macmahone pride themselves on their attention to detail, quality and function of their products. They design and manufacture all their products to the highest standards and this really shows in the killmeister frameset.

This is a brand new DH race frame from Macmahone for 2012 and has been in development for the past three years.

The frame is made from top grade 7005 T6 Aluminium and weighs in at 4.3 kg including shock. Macmahone set out to create a light but very strong frame witch has near perfect geometry and suspension layout. The frame uses a well proven floating suspension platform in which the rocker actuates the floating rear shock. This means structurally Macmahone have been able to create a stiffer, stronger frame and take some of the suspension related stress forces away from the front and rear triangle. it also enabled them to create a frame witch is very well balanced, stays in a neutral position better, and is a more responsive than other suspension layouts. This layout also enables the rear wheel to track the ground better and also enables the bike to handle drops and jumps with ease.

The killmeister uses many modern and new innovations in its creation. it has a 100% cnc yoke for added strength, internal cable routing to keep your brake and gear cables out of harm’s way and also uses a tapered headtube witch again increases strength. We will also be adding the option to have angle set headsets as a standard option on this frame to give increased adjust ability.

Full builds similar to this will follow shortly after frame sets arrive. We can also cater for custom full builds on any of our frames at competitive prices. inbox us for more info.
Here you can see what a full build using this frame could look like.

More information and a video coming soon!

If you would like more information on this frame or any of our products please see our pinkbike profile, facebook profile or feel free to drop us a message.

Keep it rubber side down.
