BSD Freedom Frame - Matt Grey

New for 2019 is Kriss Kyle's new signature Freedom frame, designed to perform well on all terrain this frame combines the stability of a low 11.5" BB, the responsiveness of a 75° headangle and the versatility of a short rear end. To create a stiffer rear triangle we've utilized an invest cast wishbone and invest cast seatstay bridge, great for sideways landings!

INVEST CAST WISHBONE
BSD used a new heat treated invest cast wishbone on the Freedom frame. This combined with the new seatstay bridge offers a stronger and stiffer rear end, especially good for sideways landings.

INVEST CAST DROPOUTS
The dropout is cast as one piece, much stronger than a plate welded to a tube. 7mm thick to provide good support for your axle, and the small shape has been designed for grinding meaning there's no overhang to catch on ledges or rails, also the dropout is heat treated before welding making it extra tough. And finally there are integrated chain tensioner bolts inside.

EXTERNAL GUSSETS
On a frame the highest concentration of stress is at the junctions between the headtube/toptube and headtube/downtube. To handle the pressures of modern riding, the required strength is achieved using a combination of butted tubing and external gussets.

INTEGRATED SEATCLAMP
The invest cast seatclamp is built into the frame so there's no need for a separate clamp. Also the slot cut beneath the seatclamp gives more clamping power less torque on the bolt
