Inspired by the Speedcraft’s legendary success on cycling’s biggest stages, S2 is made for 100% speed. 100%’s innovative technologies and signature lens have been tuned for riding at any level, and S2’s laser-etched edging provides the look of a full frame in a rimless cylindrical shield, for total visibility and comfort.
SPORTCOUPE DETAILS:
Tore got the very first Speedco XXXL and is liking it very much. BMX Athletes have been looking for longer frames so an XXXL isn't even weird. But when there's a need for more room up front, it's easier said than done when it comes down to carbon frames. These molds don't come cheap and how big is the market for them? Anyway, no complaints from Navrestad's side, he's got one.
