If Thunderbird FR woke up one day as a hardtail, it would be Hornet Pro. Aggressive as the landowner after discovering your secret trails in his backyard, this one is ready to rumble. Completely redesigned for 2022, Hornet Pro claims tracks like no hardtail before. Robust construction, hucking-orientated geometry, and enough space to ride 2.8" tires on 27.5" Boost wheels. You can even match it with a 29" front wheel if you are a Mullet lover. Well, just look at it. When a bike rides just as well with a 140mm fork as it does with a 180mm one, you know it means trouble! Pin it down your local trail or aim for the next double-stair gap.
Hornet Pro is ready to serve you fine gnar! 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.
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.
