More info about "MATCH"
ln 2007, we had released the MATCH’s prototype at Eurobike and Interbike. We’ve spent a very long time on testing and redesigning. And now we can officially release it to the market and denominate it as “MATCH”! As we know there is a bunch of supporters who are eager to see MATCH. So as following, we are going to make a quick introduction.

Due to the Single-Pivot Design, “MATCH” can use single speed drive system without any of chain tensionner devices! And it’s designed with Horizontal Adjustable Dropout that makes chainstay adjusting to an appropriate place (420-435) easily. Moreover, the extremely low slung frame will have you throw as many tricks as you like!
In terms of material using, we use cromoly+ aluminum as our Griffin does. The front triangle is made from 4130cromoly, while the rear is 6061-T6 aluminum. The reason for this special combination is for strength and functionality.
