Our No Non-Sense Frame

Explosive jumping, agile climbing, thirst-quenching-needs-to-show-your-dominance while sprinting, and delivering you to the final kilometers with less fatigue than the others — sound like a bike you want to ride? Say hello to our Nighthawk SL. She is our top-of-the-line frame. The heart of the frame is comprised of sleek no nonsense over-sized tubes supported by a beefy bottom bracket. The frame is complimented with carbon drop-outs and independent dual stays all the way to the seat-tube — it’s a racing monster. Our rear triangle is designed to maximize race-responsiveness.

While the Battle Axe SL is constructed for a softer ride, the Nighthawk SL hones in on stiffness. Both sprinters and climbers have praised the bike as one of the most race-worthy steeds out there. Do not misinterpret the stiffness as back-breaking, but performance comes first with this frame.

Our philosophy with carbon drop-outs with alloy faces: Being a racing frame, it needs to be repaired as quickly as possible to race again. Thus, if a rider was to ever crack a drop-out, if resources were near, he could repair, wrap with carbon, and be on his racing way. We do all carbon repairs in-house. We would hate for him to have to replace an entire bike due to that crack. Thus, we try to make it as easy as possible for bikes to be repaired and keep customers from spending thousands of dollars on a new bike.
