Explore The Daylight Reward
light, lively, versatile.
Engineered to Play
The Reward is designed to play. The first thing you notice when you throw a leg over is how light and poppy it feels. This isn’t because the bike is light – although it is. The Z-link and pivot positioning have been engineered to enhance your ability to manual, pump, and hop while maintaining a super plush ride.
PICK YOUR POISON
Using the adjustable chainstay length and BB drop flip-chip, the Reward can be set up as a 160-170mm mullet enduro or 140/150mm 29er trail bike. You can even slam it down to a 140/140mm 27.5″ slalom ripper.
Unlimited Personalization: We offer thousands of ceramic and powder coat options, allowing you to define the exact look of your machine.
Material: We choose 6061-T6 Aluminum because its ductile properties provide superior natural vibration damping and a smooth, controlled ride.
Functional Art: Every frame is precision-welded by hand in California, combining beautiful fabrication craftsmanship with strict structural tolerances.
Premium Hardware: Built to last with titanium linkage and pivot bolts, plus Enduro MAX Black Oxide pivot bearings. The bearings feature a magnetite surface treatment and full-complement density designed for "lifetime bearing performance," not just "lifetime bearing replacement".
"We created a suspension frame with great ride characteristics, then plotted our favorite geometry for enduro, trail, and slalom and reverse-engineered the way to achieve each of those very specific geometries using wheel sizes, fork lengths, and a flip-chip. That's why this frame is exceptional. It’s the combination of the suspension design, the versatility, and the Daylight boutique branding and style."
Leverage Ratio
While many mass-market competitors often utilize lower ratios (between 2.5:1 and 2.7:1), the Reward utilizes a 3:1 leverage ratio. This gives the rear wheel more mechanical advantage over the shock, instantly overcoming stiction to maximize rear-wheel tracking and erase high-frequency trail chatter.
The Zen Link
This ultra-compact suspension cluster packs six bearings, four pivots, and a BB flip-chip into a tiny 3.5-inch radius. This minimizes flex and keeps the center of gravity low, ensuring the bike remains incredibly stiff and responsive.
Vertical Axle Path & "Pop"
Unlike typical high-pivots that can feel "dead," Daylight’s near-vertical axle path delivers exceptional composure through square-edge hits while retaining a lively, supportive platform. This makes jumping, manualing, and changing lines feel effortless—retaining the "snap" of our BMX heritage.
Adjustable Dropouts
The Reward dropouts feature two titanium chainring bolts that allow for three chainstay lengths – 426, 434, or 442mm.

Why the Reward has Pop
"Our well-placed pivot, near vertical axle path, and the Z-link create an optimized anti-squat dynamic and asmooth consistent leverage curve that only ramps up the progression at the end. This allows riders to actually push through the pedals to pump through jumps, rollers, and berms while the suspension is fully active. This is why the Reward feels so light and easy to lift, pop, and pump."
Why the Reward’s so plush
The near vertical axle path creates an extremely neutral platform so you can get the most out of a well-tuned shock. A robust 3:1 leverage ratio and a ‘high’ pivot point just above where the chain meets the chainring ensures consistent, durable performance with minimal chain growth.
The Flip-Chip
More adjustability. A single bolt allows you to drop the bottom bracket 8-10mmand slack out your head tube angle by half a degree.
UDH Ready
The Universal Derailleur Hanger standard is a huge step forward in durability and we’re all about that. Use a UDH derailleur or a regular derailleur with a SRAM adapter. Comes with a 12 x 174 x P1.0 thru-axle and a SRAM adapter.

BMX Racing Heritage
We brought that exact same obsession with precision-welded aluminum to the mountain bike world.
- The BMX "Snap" and "Pop": While many high-pivot mountain bikes feel heavy or "glued" to the ground, the Reward is engineered with the agility of a BMX bike.
- The Reward translates that gate-snap acceleration and pump-track agility into a full-suspension chassis. We tuned the leverage curve specifically to counteract the typical high-pivot 'stuck to the ground' feel, giving you a bike that retains crisp pop, manuals effortlessly, and carries speed through rollers.
