Suspension energy is directed to the strong heart of the frame and not directly to the upper steerer and handlebars.
• Front and rear suspensions can be tuned to work as a system, with matched front-rear motion ratios, shock leverage ratios, and shock stroke and eye-to-eye measurements. The result is a chassis with unmatched balance, designed around the rider’s center of gravity.
• Because both front and rear suspensions pivot on large, precise, sealed cartridge bearings, both wheels are free to track the trail better than bikes with conventional forks, which experience bushing bind, especially when hard on the front brake.
• The WTF suspension system does a better job of separating suspension, steering, and braking forces from one another than conventional forks can. This means the front suspension is free to respond to impacts even when the front brake is fully applied.
• Application of the front brake results in up to 40% less suspension dive than a telescoping fork under braking. This means that you can use the front brake more effectively - even while descending - with more travel left to handle bumps.
• The WTF suspension system becomes slacker as the suspension travels toward full bump (as much as 8°, while a telescoping fork becomes steeper under pitch (as much as 11° with compression of just the front suspension)
• Suspension performance is optimised for climbing while offering excellent compliance.
• We use large, proven, industry-standard bearings - you might recognize them from current rear linkage suspensions – at all main pivots, and we’ve made them easy to remove from the opposite side of the frame.
• No more fork rebuilds!
• We offer lifetime warranty on frame and bearings for the original owner.
Because the brand may be new, but the talented group of designers and engineers who created Structure have designed and manufactured some of the most highly reviewed and loved bikes in the world for decades. We designed the WTF suspension system because we thought the time was right. Trust our experience and come for a ride with us.
With careful component selection we can hit industry average weight of about 31 lbs., and we’ll keep working on weight:stiffness optimization for years to come. Goal number one? Build a bike that’s strong, stiff, incredibly fast, and won’t let you down.
Yes. We have tested the WTF linkage system on some of the most technical and challenging trails in North America, and even distribution of forces through the system keeps any single bearing from taking maximum abuse. We also use large 30mm bearings and colleted 17mm axles at all main pivots to keep downtime to regular scheduled maintenance. If you need replacement bearings, get in touch and we’ll send out a service kit right away. We made them easy to replace, and hey, no more fork bushing and seal maintenance…ever.
No more than a rear linkage suspension system, and we made the process simple.
Absolutely. We designed the frame with ISCG mounts and made sure that a large number of favourite guides and/or bash guards will fit.
We considered this carefully before determining that adding layers of woven carbon fiber at impact-prone areas of the frame – and augmenting those plies with clear protective film - offers protection we can stand behind while eliminating the need for a big plastic guard.
Up to 36-tooth Boost rings, or up to 32-tooth non-Boost rings. Check fit and clearance carefully when installing any new chainring.
We use a 73mm threaded BSA bottom bracket for use with cranks from many brands.
27.5 x 2.6, with generous mud clearance.
Front: Boost 110 x 15
Rear: Boost 148mm x 12mm with SRAM XD drive. We recommend 32 spokes. Spline count: Your taste may vary.
The SCW1 uses Cane Creek IS 52/40 tapered headsets. This is a system that allows the headset cups and bearings to be housed inside our upper and lower head tubes, offering lower stack and width with increased stiffness.
Yes. This is the only option our cable routing allows.
31.6”. Insertion Depth: 280mm on G1, 300mm on G2, and 320mm on G3
36mm.
203mm front without spacer and 180mm rear without spacer (spacer required if using a 203mm at rear).
We think that for the SCW1’s intended use the 27.5″ wheel size is a great choice, and we have not come to regret it. The SCW1 is nimble when managing precise, technical trails, eats up terrain like no other bike, and maintains composure when the going gets rowdy. Nevertheless, we like 29ers too, so stay tuned. We’re working on it.
32-34 lbs, depending on spec.
Yes, at the rear, but space is tight up front. Don’t be surprised if we find a way in the future. Nevertheless, we think you’ll love the shocks we’ve chosen to spec.
150mm front and rear. We don’t recommend experimenting with alternate shock lengths or other modifications, as the SCW1 has been carefully designed for optimal performance with 150mm of travel.
30%. Your taste may vary.
The bearings and twin lip bearing seals have been designed to be easily removed using conventional tools. Our bearings can easily be driven out from the opposite side of the frame, making maintenance easy.
Everything on a Structure frame can be disassembled using common bike mechanic tools. A pick may be used to remove the spherical bearing snap ring between the upper and lower steering links.
If you have an accident and damage an SCW1 frame, we offer replacement of the damaged frame part(s) at cost price.
Lifetime warranty on frame and bearings for the original owner. Non-transferable. See our Warranty page for more details.
No. Our lifetime warranty is non-transferable. However, we sell crash replacement parts at cost. Contact customer service for details.

First, look over your frame to see if there are any stickers indicating its size (for example: G1, G2, or G3). If a sticker indicating the size does not exist, follow these simple steps:
Measure the length of your bicycle's seat tube.
Jot it down and visit structure.bike for a look at our geometry charts
One you've found a match, scan to the top of that column and you'll see the corresponding size of your bicycle.
Note: The serial number does not directly indicate size, model, or year of a bicycle. If you do not know the model and year of your bicycle, you will need to contact customer service with your serial number so we can look up your bike’s details.
Our serial numbers are located on the bottom bracket shell of the frame, at the rear of the shell. The numbers on the QR code are the serial number for your frame.
When your shocks are in regular use, a small amount of grease will purge from the seals. This is normal—it is not the oil leaking from the shock. These seals need to be damp with grease, and a little bit of oil on the shock is the sign that things are working properly.
To prevent wear and damage to the shock, we recommend the following maintenance schedule for shocks used on Structure bikes:
Set sag every ride.
Adjust rebound every ride.
Clean the shock body every ride.
Air sleeve maintenance every 50 hours.
Clean the shock eyelet bearings and add grease every 50 hours.
Have a dealer or bike shop service department inspect and change the oil in your shocks every 150 hours or annually.
CAUTION! All internal shock maintenance must be performed by a professional bicycle service centre.
Assembly is very easy. We fully assemble the bikes at the factory and then remove only what is necessary for packing. Front and rear wheels and seat (already mounted to seat post) will need to be installed. Handlebar and pedals must also be installed. Each shipping case includes clear instructions and necessary tools for assembly.
No, but we don’t have men-specific bikes either. Our bikes are for people who want the most advanced and capable bike on the mountain. If you ride a Structure bike, you are family. Enough said.
There are several ways you can get your bike serviced. If it’s standard maintenance, you can (1) check out our self-help tutorials in the owner’s manual that shipped with your bike, or see the support section of our website (in development at the time of this writing); (2) call us for help at 866-230-3567; or for annual service or more complicated repairs (3) take it to a local bike dealer (Structure bikes can be serviced anywhere).
Should I do my own repairs on a Structure bike?
Although we make our bikes to be easier to service than most, precision is critical, especially when it comes to fastener torque. As a result, we cannot recommend that customers perform repairs involving disassembly of any of the pivot or steering hardware on our frames. Please locate a qualified bicycle service centre for annual maintenance and for repairs involving disassembly of frame or steering pivots.

Like many premier manufacturers, Structure does not list weights in the specs primarily because of accuracy. Each product varies in weight (because of differences in size, pedals, and tubes, tires, rims, saddles, and other components). We encourage you to weigh your bike yourself with the components that you ride with. We build the most advanced, most capable mountain bikes on the planet, and do not compromise quality, safety, or performance for a couple of ounces. We build our bikes to endure many years of abuse from the best riders in the world.
We design, engineer, and perform quality control inspection of our bikes in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our frames are manufactured with our partner factory in Taiwan (where almost all high-end brand bikes are built). Our components are sourced from the most reputable brands in MTB.
From our home page footer, click on “register your ride”, fill out the required fields, and your registration will be complete.
You should always do a post-ride and pre-ride bike check. If while doing your pre-ride or post ride inspection of your frame and all its components you see a crack or surface imperfection, please contact your local dealer or email or call Customer Service.
We recommend pivot hardware service be performed only by qualified bicycle service personnel. However, if you do choose to remove and reinstall pivot hardware on a Structure frame, be aware that torque settings are extremely important to reliability and overall performance. Specific torque values are located in the user manual, which can be downloaded from our website here.
