Whoever said that bigger isn’t always better may have to rethink that idea. Introducing the brand new 2009 Thruster 29er ,mountain bike, as in 29 inch wheels! 29
inch wheels have been popular for some time with the bike enthusiast crowd, but the real benefits are much better suited for the weekend warrior! These larger wheels
provide greater surface area over any terrain for improved traction over a standard 26 inch wheel. Additionally, the increased wheel diameter gives the rider more
confidence by being able to navigate technical, rocky trails with perceived less effort. Once you try out a 29er you may never go back to riding your old 26er!
Thruster's pedigree in bicycles comes from its BMX roots where quick handling, nimble bikes are the name of the game. The Thruster 29er is brought to you by serious
riders - people who actually ride more than just a couple of times a year. From the stand over clearance, to the head tube angle, you’ll appreciate how well dialed
this bike really is.
The Thruster 29er mountain bike starts off with a hand crafted, light-weight 6061 aluminum frame that exudes quality. Components come courtesy of SRAM, maker of some
of the most respected high performance bicycle parts available in the bicycle industry today. SRAM X-4 shifters and derailleurs provide lightning fast and accurate
shifting through all 24 speeds. Truvativ cranks make sure that each pedal stroke is efficiently transmitted directly to the rear wheel. Promax front and rear disc brakes ensure that you stop on a dime. When you hit the trails, you will immediately notice the zero flex that the oversize 31.8 alloy handle bar and stem provide, giving you confidence as you tackle tricky single track. For traction on a variety of terrain, Kenda Nevegal tires will keep you hooked up on any trail you tackle. The Thruster 29er is finished an eye catching anti-freeze green that will turn heads wherever you ride.
Available in 16” and 18” frame sizes.
