HORNET 4X
The most popular frame of 2013, the Dartmoor Hornet is back and with some cool improvements to make it even better for all you hardcore riders. If you love to hit drops, wall rides and rough terrain on a hardtail bike, the Hornet is the frame for you. And now for the technical stuff: on the rear you will find a 135x12 through axle, the new hydroformed seatstays are stronger, stiffer and better looking for a proper abuse. Up front you now get a fully integrated headset, which are now shorter making it better for long travel forks, while giving a cleaner look. This frame is built for hardtail freeride and aggressive enduro . Being a more aggressive frame it comes in just two sizes: 16” and 18”. The new geometry is designed to cope with the dynamic of the 27.5” wheels or the agility of the classic 26” wheels - both will fit very well !! Weight: 2.3 kg (18”), 2.25 kg (16”).
Hornet 4X is the fusion between the stability and strength of the Dartmoor Hornet and the race proven geometry of our previous four-cross machine, the Dartmoor Phantom. On the construction side it will have the same new features as Hornet 2014, with a fully integrated low profile headset; new custom designed and stiffer chain and seat stays plus the introduction of a strong 135x12mm through axle. And all this has been achieved while keeping this race machine at a lightweight level. The 400mm chain stays and new super stiff rear triangle will make this bike amazing out of the gate, while being very snappy and agile to fight your way through the competition. The head angle points only one way, the finish line, plus the long top tube with 14” seat tube will suit the needs of the riders who shred them. For 2014 it will come in only one size and is compatible with 26” wheels. Weight: 2.15 kg.
