2019 Bearclaw

Thunderhawk Force One

Extremely versatile. Comfortable, yet performance-oriented geometry with the ability to run a huge range of wheel / tire sizes.

Huge tire clearance, with room for 700x46c all the way up to 27.5×2.4”.

Build kits make sense for the bike, and are priced accordingly.

High-quality titanium frame with an obvious attention to detail and superb craftsmanship.

New carbon fork is fantastic, offers lots of clearance and mounts.

Large front triangle easily holds two bottles and a half frame bag, or one gigantic frame bag.

Front ring too large for bikepacking. I immediately swapped out the 40T chainring for a 32T to match my riding style.

Seat tube bottle mount is almost too low for certain bottle cages. My King Cage Bottle Drop Cage didn’t clear the downtube.

Thomson Alloy Dirt Drop Bars weren’t that comfortable when tackling long descents.
