The Lightest Freestyle Frame in the World

  The Lightest Freestyle Frame in the World

 

Eastern is known for pushing the frame-design envelope with the weight-saving cutouts in its Grim Reaper frame. Now the company has really upped the ante by throwing titanium into the mix. The titanium Reaper frame weighs in at only two pounds, and the complete bike shown here comes in under 20. VitalBMX interviewed Eastern’s Mike Corley about the design process, and then we spoke with Leigh Ramsdell about how it rides. Leigh and Scott Gould were nice enough to give some cool riding clips, too. Click any photo to see the video.
