contents In his breakthrough article, Darmon presented a program to study Generalized Fermat Equations (GFE) via abelian varieties of $\text{GL}_2$-type over totally real fields. So far, only Jacobians of some Frey hyperelliptic curves have been used with that purpose. In the present article, we show how most of the known Frey hyperelliptic curves are particular instances of a more general biparametric family of hyperelliptic curves $C(z,s)$. Then, we apply the cluster picture methodology to compute the conductor of $C(z,s)$ at all odd places. As a Diophantine application, we specialize $C(z,s)$ in some particular values $z_0$ and $s_0$, and we find the conductor exponent at odd places of the natural Frey hyperelliptic curves attached to $Ax^p+By^p=Cz^r$ and $Ax^r+By^r=Cz^p$, generalizing the results due to Azon, Curcó-Iranzo, Khawaja, Maistret and Mocanu, and opening the door for future research in GFE with coefficients. Moreover, we show how a new Frey hyperelliptic curve for $Ax^2+By^r=Cz^p$ can be constructed in this way, giving new results on the conductor exponents for this equation. Finally, following the recent approach by Golfieri and Pacetti, we consider the Frey representations attached to a general signature $(q,r,p)$ via hypergeometric motives and, using $C(z,s)$, we compute the wild part of the conductor exponent at primes above $q$ and $r$ of the residual representation modulo a prime above $p$.
