MTB Frames
Dunbar Cycles stocks MTB frames and framesets across cross-country, trail, enduro, and downhill categories for riders upgrading an existing build or starting a new one from the frame up. Every frame here is sold on its own, without a build kit, so you can spec components exactly to your riding and budget.
Cross-country and trail riders will find the Specialized Chisel (aluminum hardtail) and Santa Cruz Tallboy and Blur (carbon, XC-race geometry) in the lineup, typically starting in the $2,000 to $4,000 CAD range for a frame alone. For bigger terrain, the Santa Cruz Hightower and Bronson cover trail and enduro travel in carbon, while the Mondraker Foxy Carbon and Specialized S-Works Enduro push further into gravity-focused geometry. Downhill riders will find the Santa Cruz V10, Norco Torrent DH, and Mondraker Summum, purpose-built race frames for lift-served and bike park riding.
Frame material is often the first real decision. Our carbon vs aluminum MTB frames guide breaks down the tradeoff in weight, ride feel, and how each material handles a hard rock strike, a real consideration on North Shore-style terrain. If you'd rather buy a complete bike than build one up, our enduro bikes collection carries several of these same frames as full builds.
Not sure which frame fits your riding or your current drivetrain and suspension? Bring it in to Dunbar Cycles in Vancouver or Corsa Cycles in Squamish and our team will help you spec it out.
