Arsenal 7° frame guide
Named for the ultimate weapons platform of the skies, the Arsenal 7° stands as the most flexible, purposeful, and relentlessly capable gravel, bikepacking, and expedition machine ever engineered. Born from Airborne's uncompromising dedication to precision manufacturing and real-world adventure testing, this flagship platform is purpose-built to dominate every mission — from nimble, spirited gravel escapes on technical singletrack to unsupported multi-week expeditions across continents. With its revolutionary geometry range and titanium's legendary ride quality, the Arsenal 7° doesn't just adapt to the terrain — it conquers it.
Equipped with the groundbreaking RideDNA™ adjustable headset system and the patent-pending VectorLoc™ adjustable dropout system, the Arsenal 7° lets you instantly transform its character — from a razor-sharp, short-wheelbase gravel racer to a long-haul, ultra-stable expedition platform that carries heavy loads with confidence-inspiring poise.
What can be adjusted?
Adjustable headset and dropout/track.
Exploring a frame in RideDNA does not imply adjustable frame hardware. Tire and compatible fork choices can be studied in software, but the frame’s headset and dropout capabilities remain those listed above. Confirm fork compatibility and physical tire clearance with Airborne before changing components.
Frame features
Key features:
Helix™ adjustable headset system — modify head tube angle for optimized stability, agility, or all-terrain confidence.
VectorLoc™ adjustable dropout system — 6 positions let you tune chainstay length, tire clearance, and frame geometry.
Phantom DLC™ Hyper Black Lifetime Scratch Proof Coating

Recorded frame geometry
Values below come directly from this Airborne model’s size records, including CAD reference stack, reach and wheelbase where recorded. Angles and BB drop use the size-specific value, falling back to the model baseline. Values are not an engine-generated setup or a guarantee of comparison eligibility. Missing measurements remain “Not recorded.”
