The Core line represents what's best in freeride hardtails. They will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain – from big drops and jumps to long climbs and winding singletrack. Steel is an ideal material for this kind of bike –it’s strong, not prone to catastrophic failure and does not transmit vibrations as harshly as the aluminum in frames. The geometry and setup is designed to keep the bike stable at high speed and on big airs, but will also allow the rider to pedal back home quite comfortably. Our hard-core dirt-jumpers who tried the Core, reported that they also felt totally at home with the riding position. So, if you want a do-it-all hardtail, you should be riding this bike.

The Analog is a a fixed gear freestyle bike that's very strong, light, and despite being designed primarily for tricks, it's a great bike for commuting. It uses the same tubes as our dirt jumping frames and has the same attention to detail and the same focused design as all our dirt products. The Analog frames will fit tires up to 700x38C and will be barspinable with this size. The geometry is different than that found in traditional track bikes - the length of the top tube will be longer in the corresponding size, and we suggest using shorter stems (40-50mm) to achieve the correct riding position.
