2013 Breezer Thunder 26 Expert Mountain Bike
2013 Breezer Thunder 26 Expert Mountain Bike
The 26" version of the 2013 Breezer Thunder Expert mountain bike packs all the power of the 29er, but in a smaller 26" package.The Thunder 26 Expert, Breezer's high performance level of race-caliber hardtails, features Breezer's 6066 aluminum D'Fusion hydroformed tubing. The Joe Breeze D'Fusion shaped aluminum tubes that makeup the frame are the key to unlocking both trail speed and power. The unique D-shaped profile on the top and down tubes near the head tube intersection and at the top tube/seat tube intersection strengthens the design. Significant stress travels through these joints and D'Fusion tubing's broader cross-section diffuses that load over a wider area, reducing the risk of fatigue. Additionally, the Apex disc mount places the rear brake caliper on the chain stay instead of the seat stay. The increased diameter of the chain stay provides a huge increase in torsional stiffness over the smaller seat stay. Not only is braking performance increased and trail chatter decreased, but the brake is also safely protected instead of dangling off the seat stay.
A Suntour Raidon RL fork with 100mm of travel and a remote hydraulic speed-loc brings trailworthy performance to the Thunder Expert. The Deore/XT mix of components shaves weight and are matched with a set of M505 hydraulic disc brakes with 180/160mm rotors. The Shadow construction of the XT rear derailleur avoids trail snagging and keeps shifting performance consistent.
The Expert is finished off with a host of WTB and Oval Concepts components. Most notably, the WTB ST TCS i19 tubeless ready rims with Shimano Deore hubs are outfitted with WTB Nano tires to simply rip the trail to shreds. The set is the perfect balance of speed and durability. ST rims, like most WTB wheels, are stiff, strong and light, and are the feather in the cap of a remarkable cross-country mountain bike design.
