Just look at this thing, it’s beautiful. The Broken Arrow uses cold worked, stress relieved 3Al-2.5V titanium tubing to offer an extremely durable frame designed for cross.
Durability and ride quality are central to the design, with each frame using titanium tubing that is double or triple butted by use of a CNC lathe. The ability to control the butting process results in varied wall thickness for different size frames resulting in a size specific titanium tubing.
Sold complete with an Enve 2.0 Carbon Cross Disc fork with a tapered steerer that matches the frame’s 44mm head tube, other frame details include a threaded BB shell, and quick release front and rear (135mm) axles.
