Super-enduro.

 It says it all. With this aluminum beast, you are ready to huck whatever you want on the track. 

170mm of travel in the back and up to 190mm in the front ensure enough room for errors and party laps. Simple 

Horst link design built around proven four-bar suspension is balanced for pedal efficiency and braking to shred 

factor. It is not a do-it-all marketing scheme bike. We like our bikes to be as progressive and stiff as possible, 

ready to jump over roots rather than be glued to them. 29-inch wheels with 148x12mm Boost hubs are already 

an overkill to ride over rough terrain. Our Enduro Team rider uses Thunderbird Superenduro both for 

Downhill and EWS races during a season. Not a UCI fan? Want to be really bad? Put a double crown on it and 

ride like it’s 2010’s freeride golden age again!
For keeping the frame trouble-free, all pivot points are working on the stiff axles mounted on the sealed Max-

type bearings. The progressive suspension design is perfect for both types of shocks: spring shocks and large 

volume air shocks. The construction reduces also the negative impact of braking on the suspension operation. 

If you look for some more tech talk - the head tube is ready to take the new generation of 1.8” tapered forks with 

68-69mm crowns and the dropout is compatible with the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH).

Mountain biking is all about your limits. The more difficult trails you ride the bigger fun you may have if 

shred it with a well-designed frame!
