SPITFIRE XVI

As this dirt jumper's name suggests, the Spitfire probably feels more at home in the air than on the ground. Seen and talked about on most every reputable biking website out there, the Spitfire XVI has surely become a top contender in the world of dirt jumpers. With its topnotch quality and attention to detail, it's not hard to understand why it has become so popular.

As with all our frames, we fabricated this frame out of our super strong straight gauge 4130 japanese sanko cromoly tubing. We've also equipped its horizontal dropouts with our patented, not just ¡§patent pending¡¨ (the lazy man's wannabe patent), ASP chain tensioning system. No more worries about your wheel becoming unlodged or slipping in the dropouts. Using these ASP tensioners in the 6mm thick x 10mm dropouts provides a solid platform for whatever you'd like to perform. Great for 24", 26", geared, and/or singlespeed.
