ForkSingle Crown Fork
The new generation of long travel single crown forks give you all the bump eating capabilities of their downhill cousins, but are lighter and more maneuverable. They are shorter and give you a decreased steering radius as well.

Frame4130 Cromo Tubing
Chromoly steel frames can be much stronger than aluminum. This is particularly important for street bikes, which are abused and crashed regularly. Also, the properties of steel give it a nicer, more supple ride than aluminum or carbon.
Butted Tubing
By thinning the walls of the frame tubing, you achieve lighter weight and better ride quality.
S-bend Seatstays
By carefully bending the seatstays, we are able to increase the ride quality of the bike. The curvy stays take a little bit of the sting out of road and trail imperfections.
Sloping Top Tube
A Brodie trademark, the sloping top tube gives more clearance in emergency situations.
