Crush
From the same dark corner as the ultra hard-core SubZero, The Crush is built from the Series 16 tubeset, hewn from primeval elemental 6061 aluminium and burned in the fires of Hades to T6 heat treatment, Mwah, hah hah Haahhhhhh!
Well, not quite, but that’s what we had in mind to properly illustrate how tough this frame is designed to be. The Crush’s secret ingredients are is its super-rigid chassis, and its freeride geometry, allowing a 150 mm travel fork to get busy over the ripples and bumps, yet handle the big boulders on the most challenging trails.
Reassuringly constructed, the custom hydro-formed downtube, with its oversize flared top section makes full contact with the ring reinforced head-tube, eliminating any unwanted flexing from the king-sized fork. The Quattro Lite II seatstays finish off the immensely rigid tail end, ensuring every ounce of energy you put through the cranks is transferred via the chunky 2.35” tyres into fast-forward motion.
With a component spec straight from the ‘overbuild specification’ pages, the 2007 Crush is a bike that makes you realise what ‘it’ is all about.
