4X

Well, thanks to my bike sponsor, SOUL CYCLES, I will be taking delivery of one of the nicest 4-cross frames out there.

The Matador.
Almost 2 years in development, the Matador is a lightweight full suspension dual purpose rig. The frame lends itself to 2 different set ups (4X (6.5 x 1.5+100mm) / Mid-Travel Slopestyle (7.5 x 2.0+130mm) ). The frame features a machined scissor link for additional rear end lateral stiffness. A 6mm thick front shock mount tying the top and down tubes together to add stiffness and minimize down tube torsion and twisting.

It will be equipped with a FOX DHX 5 Air, it's the top of the line air suspension FOX offers. I can't wait to get it built up and tear up the slalom/Downhill/4X courses with it.

Watch out for the "Old guy" cause' I'm comin'!
