Our Rage 3 CF will soon be available in the United States. Don’t miss any update with our email notification below.
Full focus on the track, no worries about the bike. The Rage 3 CF was developed for racing conditions and is more robust than ever. Features like extra-sealed, large-diameter stainless steel frame bearings and shock-absorbing frame protectors make the Rage 3 CF a bike you can always rely on.
Inside or outside line. No matter which line you ride or what the surface is like, the Rage 3 CF works reliably and simply swallows up any roots or rocks.
29″ is optimal for high speed, smoothness and offers better rollover behaviour. The larger contact surface gives you more grip.
Mix is more agile and manuverable with the smaller rear wheel. With the big front wheel, obstacles are easy to overcome.

During the development of the new Rage 3 CF, we worked closely with the PROPAIN Factory Racing team. The team tested the Rage 3 CF for over a year on downhill tracks in Portugal, New Zealand and the Alps. With their feedback, we were able to keep optimising the DH bike down to the smallest detail.
Its been 2 years since the first visual sample from the 3D printer to various prototypes to the final bike.
Short chainstay length of 445 mm or
long chainstay length of 460 mm
Flat head angle of 63°
Long reach of 440 mm - 495 mm
Adjustable geometry via flip chip to 29" or Mix
Stainless steel bearings with Dirt-Shields
PRO10 suspension system with 38% progression
Blend Carbon
“Made for racing with heaps of fun” – that’s the feedback from the World Cup team. The Rage 3 CF is a thoroughbred race bike. The combination of a longer reach and a 63° head angle makes it even more stable than before in high-speed sections. In the setup with the short chainstay, it is extremely agile and manuverable.
The demands on a downhill bike can vary depending on the route or preferences. To meet these requirements, the Rage 3 CF can be optimally adapted to these preferences.
Different high-tech carbon fibres are used in the Rage 3 CF. This allows us to define the perfect mix of stiffness, flexibility, weight and robustness of the frame with millimetre precision.
The new shock position in front of the seat tube allows us to achieve better weight distribution. The bike’s centre of gravity is low and central. The Rage 3 CF is designed for both coil shocks and air shocks. The PRO10 kinematics offer the ideal progression and traction.
Thanks to the flip chip, the geometry is ideally adapted to Mix or 29″ wheels.
15 years ago, the Rage, together with the PRO10 suspension system, laid the foundation for what PROPAIN is today. Initially, Robert Krauss wanted to develop the perfect DH bike for himself, it was only intended as a bike for him and his friends. He wrote a list of requirements with 10 points that the suspension system had to fulfil. The result is still the core of our bikes and the formula for success of PROPAIN Bikes.
The frame size is an essential part of the bike performance and contributes significantly to the riding fun. Select your required frame size from the chart. If you are between two sizes, then you only have to decide whether you like it playful or smooth running. For smooth running choose the larger frame size, for playful the smaller one.

How do I know which frame size is right one for me?
The section “frame size” on the product page shows a recommendation from us regarding the optimal frame size depending on your body size.
Is there also an aluminum version of the Rage?
Currently, we offer the Rage only in carbon.
Can I use the Rage with a single crown fork?
The frame is designed for a double crown fork and should only be used with one.
Can I install a Reachadjuster/Angleset in my Rage?
Yes, a Reachadjuster/Angleset can be installed.
What is the maximum rider weight?
The frame is approved for riders up to a maximum weight of 120 kg/265lbs.
Where can I find information about exact dimensions, installation lengths, torque specifications, etc.?
You can find the information in the “Downloads” section or in our Tech Archive. Here you have access to the exploded view as well as the manual.
Can I change my wheelbase on the Rage using a flip chip?
The wheelbase can be changed to a short and a long position with the help of the installed flip chip.
Is it possible to order the Rage with 27.5″ inch wheels?
We offer the Rage only with 29″ inch wheels and in the mix option. (27.5″ rear and 29″ front)
When will the Rage be available?
A non-binding delivery date is displayed in the customizer when you place your order.
Do you offer other components, such as an orange Fox suspension fork, that are not listed in the customizer?
No, at this time we only offer the components and colour options that are displayed in the customizer.
What does my frame look like in the colour Raw?
Carbon raw is a real beauty! The frames are getting a special treatment before we paint them so the carbon surface, which is shining through the paint, is showing its best side. Besides the clear paint there is also a light dark coating applied. This results in a light dark shine of carbon material, especially in sunlight. Each model is different so every method and also materials will differ. That also means every single frame is a unique.
