Like our freeride Thunderbird frames, Hornet Pro is designed to fit a new generation of 1.8" tapered forks with 68-69mm crowns. Bigger means stronger, and surely that’s important in Freeride.
Our custom bicycle frame protectors are crafted from thick thermoplastic elastomer material, offering superior impact resistance against scratches, dents, and impacts. Designed with a ribbed pattern for added durability, these protectors are perfect for Hornet Pro frames, ensuring maximum protection without compromising aesthetics.
If Thunderbird FR woke up one day as a hardtail, it would be a Hornet Pro! With a completely redesigned frame with a front triangle tubeset taken from Thunderbird frames, it can handle more than many full-suspension frames.
