Ripper DH Frame
From: £1200.00
With kids getting faster, their bikes need to be able to take the pace, which is why we made this 24-inch wheeled, scaled-down version of our famously tough Belter.
December 1st, 2018: Clearcoat is no longer available on BTR frames; please select a colour instead. We still use the same materials and workmanship under the coloured powder coat, but product images are for illustration only! More information >
The Ripper DH is a direct result of our belief that young riders should be learning their trade on a hardtail – it’s where the fundamental skills of bike handling are best discovered and honed. The Ripper DH offers young riders the chance to begin their downhill riding or racing career on a bike which is genuinely suited to their stature; no more super-long chain stays, or pavement-only geometry! And it’s build to take serious use too, with Reynolds 631 tubing just like our other hardtails. Sure it doesn’t look as fancy as many other bikes around, but there really is no better way for a kid to learn to handle a bike.
The Ripper DH is designed around a 120mm travel 26″ fork, so you should have no problem finding a good quality fork, suitable for the bike. We recommend air forks, purely so that the spring rate (and therefore sag) can be adjusted correctly; coil sprung forks may not be sufficiently adjustable to the correct rate, but would be preferable if they are.
We also recommend short crank arms (165mm max.) for the Ripper DH – short legs need short cranks! Some mainstream cranks are available in 155mm, and specialty cranks are available even shorter, if necessary.
BTR can supply any components you need with your frame, or even a complete bike!

Internal Cable Routing
£60/cable
The cables are routed through thin stainless steel guide tubes, which run the full length of each internal portion. Rear brake and derailleur cables run internally through the down tube, then externally below the chain stays for the remaining distance. Stealth dropper post cable routing runs internally through the down tube, and directly into the base of the seat tube. The front ends of the cables are sealed to the stainless guide tubes, so that water and dirt cannot enter the frame.

Integrated Seat Clamp
£20
An integrated seat clamp keeps the bike as simple and secure as possible, and complements a dropper seatpost nicely. The clamp requires a 5mm allen key to release and tighten.

Custom Head Badge Text
£FOC
Custom head badge text allows you to add a line of text to the head tube badge on your frame. Add your own name, your preferred beverage, a short message about Strava or carbon fibre, or even your favourite film, to personalise your bike. Maximum of 11 characters; A-Z, 0-9.

Chain Device Mount
£40
If you want to run a chain device, you need to have an ISCG05 mount. The mount can support a bash guard, or only an upper chain guide, or a full chain device with integrated bash.

[one_half_last padding=”10px 10px 10px 10px”]
Bottle Cage Mounts
£20/pair
BTR bottle cage bosses are stainless steel, and ‘blind’ (no through-hole). This means that they not only work flawlessly as mounts, but also ensure that the frame isn’t compromised by their existence – even if you leave them open. Each pair (for one bottle cage) costs £20.
Bottle Cage Locations:
- First cage – top side of down tube
- Second cage – front side of seat tube
- Third cage – underside of down tube
If you need to relocate a bottle cage, please contact us before placing your order.
