Looking for an inspiration?


A shot at building the most hardcore hardtail ever.
 

No shortcuts, no compromises, there’s no room here for a big cassette or a dropper post - heck, there’s not even a bottle cage mount. After all, this bike isn’t meant for climbing, it’s built for shredding wild lines, hitting wooden features, and sending big drops.


Hornet Pro is a hardtail designed for aggressive trail riding and freeride sessions. Its robust aluminum frame features a 1.8" tapered head tube, accommodating modern forks with 68-69mm crowns. Equipped with a RockShox Domain fork offering 150mm of travel and 38mm stanchions, it ensures precise handling on technical descents. The Shimano Deore M6120 4-piston front brake and M6100 2-piston rear brake provide reliable stopping power, paired with 203mm and 180mm rotors respectively. Rolling on 27.5" wheels with Maxxis Minion DHF 2.6" tires, the bike delivers excellent traction and control. A Race Face Atlas 785mm handlebar and Dartmoor Viper stem to create a confident cockpit setup. With its aggressive geometry and high-quality components, the Hornet Pro is built to tackle the trails with confidence.
