Choose Your Frame Size & Fit

First, choose your frame size (top tube length). Once you have that, then choose your front end height (or frame stack height) to dial in your perfect fit.

Two Rider Fit Profiles

We offer distinct fit profiles in 12 sizes each.

Fit Profile Fit Description Position Variants,
relative to the other two fit profiles
Standard Fit A neutral fit position for mountain biking. Our most popular geometry works well for the majority of riders. Similar to the industry's common hardtail bike fit. Neutral. From which all other fits are compared.
Endurance Fit Slightly more upright and shorter than our standard mountain hardtail position. Better for long rides where comfort is as important as performance. This fit profile can also be better for exploring unknown territory. Compared to our Standard Fit:
  • The front end height and handlebar position is about 2.0 cm (.75") higher.
  • The reach from saddle to handlebar is about 0.7 cm (0.25") shorter.

General Frame & Bike Geometry Notes

Complete frameset details are on the standards and component interfaces page.

All geometry shown with fork fully extended, unsprung, and without rider on the bike.

Most measurements in centimeters and degrees.

Specifications subject to change.


Fit Geometry footnotes:

  1. Bike geometry calculated with 29 x 2.25" tires.
  2. Top tube length is effective: Starting from the centerline of the head tube and top tube intersection measured horizontally to the ground, back to the seat tube.
  3. Frame stack BB-HT: This is what most bike companies simply call "stack." However, there is frame stack and separately handlebar/stem stack. Seven clarifies frame stack by including BB-HT. Because we only provide frameset specifications (rather than bike specifications), we cannot provide stem stack here.
  4. Frame reach warning: This popular measurement is not a good gauge of proper bike fit. Also, the term is not accurate and, therefore, often causes confusion. Seven qualifies the term with "BB-HT" to help define the measurement. Regardless of these shortcomings, we include frame reach BB-HT because it has become a popular industry shorthand for comparing one bike size to another. While the frame reach numbers Seven shows here are accurate, Seven does not take responsibility for an ill-fitting bike if a fitter relies on the frame reach number. Top tube length combined with stem length is much more relevant and helpful in bike-to-bike fit comparisons.

Fit Geometry footnotes continued:

  1. Standover height is measured midway along the top tube, the actual typical point where a rider stands on a bike. Be aware that this is different from how many production bikes measure standover height.
  2. Rider height range, typical: Choosing a bike size based on height is not wise. We include height ranges because it is a standard industry practice. If you need help deciding what size you should ride, visit a bike fitter to determine your ideal size. Seven does not offer size recommendations remotely. Including size ranges also highlights that most riders could choose from three Rider Ready sizes — as opposed to one for most stock bike alternatives.
  3. Rider weight range: This is the rider in birthday suit, without any clothing, equipment, hydration, etc. To understand Seven's ride weight philosophy and parameters, read our Ride Carry-Weight standards. Ranges shown here are our recommendations for optimal ride performance. However, if your weight is above the recommendation, the bike will still handle and perform significantly better than any stock bike. For specific component weight limits, check with the manufacturer.

Frame Geometry Performance footnotes:

  1. Toe overlap warning: Because toe overlap is determined, in large part, by factors not related to frame geometry, we cannot guarantee that your bike setup will not have any overlap. Make sure you are comfortable with the length of the front center before ordering a bike. You can check your current bike to compare front centers.
  2. Seat tube length is measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the intersection of the top tube's centerline. To determine the total seat tube length from the top edge of the seat top to the center of the bottom bracket, add about 4.5 cm.

Tubeset Stiffness, Performance, & Handling

We offer this frameset in three performance configurations: Benchmark, RocketShip, and SuppleState.

Note: Constant Wall Titanium Tubing: Seven has more than 20 tube diameters and walls to engineer with. These options allow us to fine-tune the bike's ride and performance.

Tubeset designation Benchmark
The Exemplar
RocketShip
Priority: Stiffness & Agility
SuppleState
Priority: Resilience & Predictability
What does this mean? This is out most popular performance tubeset. Excellent choice in all situations. Stiffness is the priority. Good for acceleration. Not for comfort. A specialty tubeset. Comfort is the priority. Good for long rides. Not a competition bike —unless that event is 12 hours-plus.
Why choose this tubeset? Ideal for about 80% of riders. Balanced. Most capable over the widest range of use. Excellent at everything. Seven's stiff drivetrain and high smoothness flow. When in doubt, choose our Benchmark tubeset. The best harmony of all possible features. Seven's most popular tubeset choice. Our stiffest Rider-Ready frameset. Stiff in all directions: Drivetrain, torsion, and bump feel. If you're a larger rider or just love the way a stiff frame feels, choose our RocketShip tubeset design. Handling is slightly more agile and quick than average. When a smooth ride is most important choose our SuppleState tubeset design. Good for long distance riding where comfort outweighs flat out acceleration. If you're looking for a more traditional titanium ride feel. Handling is a bit more stable and surefooted than average.
Considerations None. Not ideal for lighter riders, long distance riding, or if you're looking to improve comfort on the bike. Not ideal for larger riders, single-digit-hour competition rides, or carrying more than 15 lb of gear.

Options & Upgrades

Dropout Type

Seven offers two dropout types for this model. The essential difference is the derailleur hanger:

Integrated derailleur hanger: This is available at no charge. This is the most common option. It is differentiated by having the toughest derailleur hanger on the market. It works with every derailleur type except SRAM electronic Transmission systems.

Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) This option is a $95 upcharge. It is universally compatible with every mainstream derailleur including SRAM's unique Transmission system. The weakness of the system is that the hanger is aluminum and will get destroyed repeatedly. It is replaceable but you must ride with spare parts.

For exhaustive details visit our dropout page.


Seat Stay Design

This is a no charge option. Choose either Moto or Inline style stays.

Moto Seat Stays

These are our most popular seat stay design for gravel bikes. In our Rider-Ready series, Motos provide the smoothest ride possible without sacrificing drivetrain stiffness.

moto seat stays
Moto seat stays are our most popular.
Inline Seat Stays

These are our classic s-bend stays that that are the standard by which other stays are judged. Choose Inline stays you want a more traditional aesthetic.

inline seat stays
Inline seat stays provide a more subtle aesthetic.

Upgrades Available

Third bottle mount under down tube

Most bikes have one or two water bottle mounts. You can include a third bottle mount on your Seven if you'd like.

This is a no charge option.

Fender mounts

Our fender mounts include one on each dropout, a chainstay bridge mount, and a seat stay bridge mount that is oriented at 90 degrees to the hub. This is optimized for 99% of all performance fender systems.

This upgrade is $145.

Travel couplers for easy luggage packing

If you travel with your bike, or want to travel with your bike, more than once a year, it may be worth investing in our coupler upgrade. Read all the details and benefits.

This upgrade is $1,995.


Etched Graphics

The price for etched graphics is $250. Most of our graphic options are no charge. Etched graphics are time-consuming. But they look great.

Housing & Cable Routing Options

We offer this frameset with any of our housing routing options. Read the detailed comparison of Seven's housing and cable routing options. Following is a summary of the benefits and considerations of the various cable routing systems.

Housing & Cable Routing Type External Routing InLine Internal Routing In-Route (Enve) Internal Routing Universal Shifting Routing
Pricing No upcharge $495 upcharge
Why choose this routing? Simple, lightweight, easy to maintain and service. When in doubt, go with external routing. A good balance of the full internal aesthetics without much of the complexity of In-Route internals. Not available on mountain bikes. Futureproofing. When you're unsure of what parts you might want to ride five years from now.
Considerations Exposed and visible cable stops and housing zip tie guides. Maintenance is required more often, is more expensive, and should be performed by a professional mechanic. Warning: Internal housing routing can cause injury or death if not properly installed and maintained. This is a kitchen sink solution. It looks unusual. This option has ports (for internal routing) AND exposed and visible cable stops and housing zip tie guides (for classic routing).

Why is Seven's Hardtail 2924 the ideal performance mountain bike?

Here are a few reasons:

  • Better handling: Available in 12 sizes and 2 fit profiles, The 2924's more precise sizing provides much better rider weight distribution and center of gravity for the best handling of any stock bike.
  • Better handling: Choose between contemporary and Slang geometry for where you ride and how you ride. Available in 12 sizes and 2 fit profiles, The 2924's more precise sizing provides much better rider weight distribution and center of gravity for the best handling of any stock bike.
  • Unparalleled ride feel and fun for two reasons:
    • Each of The 2924's 12 frame sizes has a size-specific tubeset with an optimal rider weight range. Rather than a single weight limit for all sizes — as performance carbon bikes seem to have — The 2924's optimal weight recommendation provides a ride feel and rider connection that has never been possible with a stock bike.
    • We offer three distinct tubeset styles to meet your needs: Super stiff, our benchmark design, and a super smooth and resilient tubeset.
  • A new level of control: Again, 12 frame sizes in 2 fits with 12 distinct tubeset profiles and 3 tubeset types. Add to this Seven's innovative application of titanium, and you've got more intuitive body English control than ever.
  • Complete trust in the equipment. Titanium for its durability and simple care. Seven's material engineering for longevity.
  • Toughness: Titanium can handle abuse and impacts that would crack, rip, or dent other materials. Nearly impervious to wear damage from grit and grime — unlike carbon. Seven's titanium 3-2.5 alloy is the best material for building the toughest bikes.
  • Better fit because The 2924 comes in 2 distinct fit profiles: Our Standard Fit and our Endurance Fit. Seven's Standard Fit, in 12 sizes, provides a riding position similar to that of popular stock bikes. Our Endurance Fit, in 12 sizes, provides a slightly higher front and has a bit shorter reach. That's 24 sizes to choose from — compared to 4 to 6 for stock bikes. We're confident you'll have a better fit than any stock bike you've ever ridden.

Why a hardtail mountain bike from Seven?

  • Applied Experience & World Champions: Seven's hardtail mountain bikes have been ridden to multiple XC world and XC national title wins. Our hardtails have ridden in multiple XC Olympics. We've had riders on the U.S. mountain bike national team many times over many years. We've built hardtail mountain bikes for the best riders in the world including John Tomac and Ned Overend. We bring this knowledge base to every new bike we build. Your Seven will have the same pedigree.
  • More Framebuilding Experience: Most Sevens are built by three artisans — a framebuilder, a welder, and a framewright. On average, these three have over 40 years of framebuilding experience. There are no more experienced titanium builders on the planet. This depth helps us build better bikes.
  • More Titanium Experience: Without a doubt, titanium is the best frame material for hardtail mountain bikes. Seven's founders have been building titanium bikes for 37, without interruption, and therefore, longer than anyone else. 30-plus years ago, Seven's founders developed the titanium tube specification that is still widely used today. If you want something built of titanium, there is no more knowledgeable team to work with.
  • Built by riders for riders. Who built your bike? Many of our crew ride mountain bikes as their primary love. We've been riding the local trails for nearly four decades, since before mountain bikes became a thing. Some of us cut out teeth in BMX, some in cyclocross, and some just rode into the woods. Whatever the reason to ride, it's all good. And even better on the trails.
  • Made in the USA. Our founding team has been building bikes in Massachusetts for nearly four decades. There are a lot of reasons we build bikes this way. In the end, all that really matters is whether you can feel the difference in the ride. We find that riders do.
