Press Release
Today On-One is releasing the Codeine 29er. A true On-One suspension bike, made in our own unique way, designed from a piece of paper and crafted to be the bike we want to ride, because nobody made one that was quite right. The Codeine is available as a frame with rear shock and as a complete bike with SRAMโs X01 groupset. Itโs a 29er, itโs got 140mm of front travel and 130mm of rear travel, it runs a single chainring up to 34 teeth, big tyres and itโs a whole heap of fun to ride.
A big hitting 29er with pop and fun. Fitting big wheels, with clearance to run big tyres โ even our 2.4in Chunky Monkeys - into the space normally occupied by 26in ones. So thatโs 440mm chainstays โ shorter than our Scandal hardtail, but with 130mm of rear travel to keep you out of trouble. Up front a 140mm travel Rock Shox Pike scythes its way through the rockiest lines around โ this bike was made for the technology thatโs now available to get the most from the big wheels. A single chainring drivetrain, those Pikeโs with their huge stanchions allowing amazing tracking.
โThis is the bike we always wanted, so we made it ourselves.โ Brant Richards โ Head of Design
Whoโs It For?
Trail riders. Gravity Enduro racers. People who like hitting things hard and fast, or who want a bike thatโs capable of that. You can ride it on more or less any terrain โ and we have.
No Front Derailleur
Thatโs right โ you canโt run a front mech. Why? Because removing the front mech enabled us to design the bike to ride the way we want, without compromises. At the time of original design, we were all riding around with chain guides, but thanks to the innovation of SRAM weโre delighted to offer it with their X01 drivetrain, offering 1x11 with more than enough gears to get you through and over the biggest hills around, all on a chain-guide-free system.
Frame Construction
The chassis is designed to be stiff and durable, and yet weighs under 7lb. Hand welded from custom formed 7005-T6 aluminium tubing, with CNC machined fitments, rolling element bearings, and torx bolts on all fittings. With development from our team, using construction techniques that our team have used on enduro, downhill and trail bikes over the last decade. Itโs all here in the Codeine, tuned and fettled to give you an amazing ride. Weโre confident and very happy with the durability. Itโs not an XC race bike, and the CCDB shock isnโt the lightest, but when push comes to shove, having a chassis thatโs as solid as this - โThe stiffest FS bike Iโve riddenโ โ handling excels with superior tracking. Benchmarked against every other trail bike weโve tested, this is one of the best. Weโve had people refuse to give them back during testing. Itโs been amazing.
Geometry
Geometry is โWinch and Plummetโ. Steep seat angle โ 74degrees - to get the power down and be in an efficient pedalling position, with a good reach to the bars. BB is low enough to be fun, at 35mm below centre, but not perilously so. Head angle is matched by wheelbase and chainstay length โ 440mm - to give the perfect dynamic handling up or down. Want a number? Itโs 67.5degrees. We recommend the shorter style of stem, from 35-55mm and 720-780mm bars.
