Welcome to Progressive Bikes the home of Brodie in the UK.
We are proud to bring Brodie Bikes to the UK. We like what Brodie bikes do and we think that Brodie make some great bikes, we think you will like them too.
There has been some big changes to the line up for 2008, especially the Hardass series and the All mountain bikes (Descension), which have all been on a diet and will fit into the UK scene quite nicely!
This is what Brodie have to say for 2008....
Welcome to the 2008 season, marking our 22nd year of doing it differently. We are introducing new technology and concepts in several categories, and have completely revamped all of our hardtail offerings, to better address the needs and wishes of the new generation of riders. Here are some of the highlights:
Marathon
2008 marks a new milestone for Brodie with the introduction of Custom Select Shaped 7005 tubing. This new technology leapfrogs hydro forming. We are strengthening our frames geometrically without additional welding and more precisely controlling the wall thickness of each tube for greater weight savings. Instead of using high-pressure liquid, each tube is carefully formed by mandrel (think mold and die), which yields an extremely precise finished product. This new tubing can be found in all Marathon models, both 100mm and 130mm bikes, all the way down to the value priced Rite. As well, we are introducing new dropouts for even greater weight savings and the seat tube diameter increases to 34.9mm for greater strength. Weight savings are in the 1/2 to 3/4 pound range.
Hardass
We’ve updated our signature hard-tails this year with our new Brodie Custom Select Shaped FR tubing. Like the XC oriented versions, these precision tube-sets allow us to maintain strength while eliminating some welding. The geometry has also been tweaked for 08 with longer top tubes for more room and a dramatically new dropped and reinforced top tube for greater stand-over clearance. The Bruzza and new Holeshot share a beautifully manipulated frame, complete with new forged yokes that make for a 2.4 lb lighter frame than in 07! These bikes have evolved from big-huck hard-tails to classic do it all hardtails.
