Where has this bike been hiding? Prime has built a superb enduro bike that can muscle up against the heavy hitters in this category while descending but doesn't land flat-footed when the trail requires finesse.
Strong, deep rider position doesn’t hold back descending
Clean design with sturdy frame and hardware
Combo of supple suspension and moderate head angle keeps it agile in slower, technical zones
Limited frame sizes
Convoluted cable routing
Underpowered brakes hold back the bike's capabilities

New polish brand, Prime, introduce the brand new Thunderflash. We already had the exclusive chance to put it to the test!
Lots of mid-stroke support from the suspension
Efficient enough to forgo the climb switch
Intuitive, precise handling
Great looking frame with smart features
Small weaknesses in the components
Brake line rattles on the fork crown
No size S to accommodate small riders
