All-aluminum Thunderbird frames are designed to be compatible with the new generation of 1.8" tapered forks featuring 68–69mm crowns. Bigger means stronger — a crucial advantage in Superenduro and Freeride riding. Of course, these frames also work perfectly with standard tapered forks with 1.5" steerer tubes. And when you purchase our Storm or Storm Intro headsets, both crown races are included.
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.
