If Thunderbird FR woke up one day as a hardtail, it would be a Hornet pro! With a completely redesigned frame, front triangle tubeset taken from Thunderbird frames, 1.8” tapered head tube, Marzocchi Z1 fork, and powerful 4-piston Magura MT5N brakes this bike claims tracks and even freeride lines like no hardtail before. For more comfortable riding, the Hornet pro is equipped with a dropper post.

Hornet Pro, like our freeride Thunderbird frames, are designed to fit with a new generation of 1.8" tapered forks with 68-69mm crowns. Bigger means stronger, and surely that’s important in Freeride.
