The Rage is your key to success. With over 18 years of intensive development, close collaboration with our athletes, and countless World Cup races, the Rage has everything needed to conquer the toughest downhill tracks. Count on unwavering stability, reliable performance, and maximum speed to tackle any descent and win races.
The geometry of the Rage is fully designed for speed and stability, delivering maximum control in high-speed sections and technical, rough terrain. Thanks to the flip-chip and adjustable dropouts, the setup can be flexibly adapted to personal preferences.
The high-quality TPR chainstay protector makes the Rage particularly quiet. Additionally, cable mounts with a reduced diameter and firmly integrated cable clamps at the entry and exit points help to reduce noise levels.
With 200 mm of travel up front and 215 mm at the rear, our Rage is ready for the toughest descents. The rear suspension with high progression makes the Rage the ultimate race bike, providing maximum grip and comfort in every situation.
29” wheels are optimal for high speed and smooth handling, providing the best rollover capability, especially in technical sections.
The mixed wheel setup, featuring a smaller 27.5” rear wheel, offers greater agility and maneuverability, while the large 29” front wheel provides excellent rollover capability and stability in rough and steep terrain.
We are excited to offer a limited Replica Edition of our World Cup team this time. This exclusive collection is available in a limited quantity and only with Mix wheelset. Experience the thrill of downhill racing and bring the PROPAIN Positive Vibe to your local bikepark.
Over many years, we have continuously developed our downhill bike with our World Cup team and roster of top athletes. The Rage has been rigorously tested on the toughest tracks and under the most extreme conditions. Thanks to continuous feedback and close collaboration with our riders, the performance has been consistently improved—with the clear goal of creating an uncompromising race bike.
Being the first bike in our portfolio, our Rage embodies over 18 years of development. Starting with the launch of the first generation in 2010, we are now sending the fifth model off to the racetrack. From 3D-printed prototypes to production readiness, our bikes undergo an extensive development journey. Each component is tested for functionality and efficiency and continuously improved.
As with the previous models, the Rage 3 R CF also focuses on maximum stability and uncompromising performance. Thanks to the revised carbon layup, the new Rage is even more reliable and powerful, delivering the perfect balance of stiffness and flex.
The large downtube protector optimally shields the frame from rock impacts and other external forces. The newly developed chainstay and seatstay protectors, made from high-quality TPR plastic with air-filled nubs, have excellent damping properties and efficiently stop chain vibrations.
As one of the first manufacturers, we offer the Ochain Active Spider as a factory option in our online configurator. For those who prioritize maximum performance, it is an essential upgrade for downhill bikes.
All of our installed bearings are made from high-quality stainless steel and are protected by a double seal (PROPAIN Dirt-Shields). Wear on the bearings caused by moisture and dirt is therefore not an issue.
For a modern carbon frame that withstands ambitious riding over time, it’s not enough to simply use good carbon material. Instead, a blend of different carbon fibers and fabrics, along with their diverse properties, is needed to meet the demands. PROPAIN carbon frames are made from prepreg carbon layers, which ensure an optimal resin content and significantly higher strength values. Each layer has specific properties and corresponding functions in particular areas of the frame. Based on the requirements for stiffness, flexibility, impact resistance, weight, strength, and direction of stress, various fibers and fabrics are employed.
We are 100% convinced that our PRO10 system remains the most powerful frame concept on the market. It is based on four pivot points and a floating shock that is activated by two counter-rotating links. The 215mm PRO10 rear end of the Rage 3 R CF, combined with the shock tuned to it, delivers a sensitive response and high progression. On the track, this translates to massive grip, plenty of support, and a feeling of never-ending suspension travel.
Our progressive design of the rear suspension allows for maximum sensitivity at the beginning of the travel, enabling the suspension to absorb small bumps and trail chatter seamlessly.
The ideal progression of the suspension provides quick and pleasant support in the mid-stroke range. This allows the rider to stay high in the travel on the trail while keeping plenty of reserves for hard hits.
The responsiveness of the rear end, combined with the defined lateral stiffness (compliance) of all PRO10 rear ends, enables precise line-holding even through rough terrain.
With an anti-squat calibrated to each model at just over 100%, we achieve an extremely stable pedaling platform across all bikes, effectively preventing bobbing during strong acceleration.
The wheel rise curve begins directed backward to minimize resistance when avoiding obstacles. At the same time, the wheel rise curve is optimized to ensure no noticeable pedal kickback.
The forces acting during braking can compress the rear suspension and counteract the weight shift caused by braking. The PRO10 suspension system effectively utilizes this effect to ensure controlled braking while maintaining optimal suspension performance.
The shock is connected via two links, resulting in virtually no lateral forces acting on the shock. This maximizes the effectiveness and longevity of the shock.
The force transfer from the rear end to the main frame is very uniform due to the floating system, allowing for an overall lightweight frame construction.
The large stainless steel bearings are protected by an additional seal (Propain Dirt Shields) and guarantee an extremely long lifespan. The positioning of the bearings ensures very low forces acting on them, further reducing maintenance intervals.
The positioning of the shock contributes to a very low and central center of gravity, significantly enhancing the bikes’ handling.
18 years ago, the Rage, along with the PRO10 suspension system, laid the foundation for PROPAIN. Initially, when company founder Robert Krauss wanted to develop the perfect downhill bike for himself, it was meant to be a bike for him and his friends. He created a list of 10 requirements that the suspension system needed to meet. The result remains the heart and success formula of PROPAIN bikes to this day.
The size of the frame plays an important role in the bike’s performance and, above all, in its enjoyment. Select the frame size you need from the table. If you are between two sizes, then you only have to decide whether you like it playful or smooth. For smooth riding, choose the larger frame size, for playful riding, choose the smaller frame size.
