Horsethief Frame - New model for 2012 designed for all-day riding on rugged terrain
A very capable climber, Horsethief does have a slight bias toward descending, letting you enjoy the fruits of your uphill labor. By designing the bike for use with a shorter than normal stem, the body is positioned better for aggressive riding.
120mm of rear travel delivered through a custom-tuned Fox shock is paired with 120mm to 140mm of front travel to help you enjoy riding the rough stuff.
Designed for devouring your local trails. The frame offers 120mm of rear wheel travel, paired with the new for 2012 Fox F34 fork with 120mm which is changeable to 140mm
The EV6 aluminum frame is low weight 120mm trailbike frame and uses a pivot-minimizing suspension design. Removing the rear pivot helps keep chassis weight down, while also reducing complexity and maintenance.
The rear suspension is designed for soaking up anything the trail throws at it. The tapered 1-1/8 to 1-1/2” headtube provides a stiffer front end and more precise steering. Likewise, the press-fit BB30 bottom bracket also transmits pedaling power more efficiently than other designs. New for 2012 is a 142x12 Maxle rear end.
The Horsethief frame geometry results in neutral handling that does not steer overly quickly. The bike is designed for all-day riding on rugged terrain.
Horsetheif. There's gonna be a new sherriff in town.
