AWAKE FRAME

Ed Zunda’s first requests to the guys at Wethepeople was a shorter 13.2” chain stay, steeper 75.5 degree head tube angle and a taller 11.75” bottom bracket height to give more clearance on crooked grinds. New for 2018 the Awake has had a full makeover with a taller 127mm hour-glass head tube, taller 9” stand over height and now includes eye catching 7.5mm invest casted dropouts with integrated chain tensioners, making this sleek beast more dialed than ever.

MESSAGE FRAME

When developing their new skatepark and transition-based model, Wethepeople wanted to address many of the issues that traditional skatepark frames had always suffered from. The MESSAGE FRAME features unique super-stiff tubing which allows the frame to be incredibly resistant to sideways impact without sacrificing agility and weight. Paired up with responsive geometry, three colourways and Wethepeople’s trusted lifetime guarantee, the Message frame is one of the toughest park frames out there.

PATHFINDER FRAME

After a standout part in their 2017 DVD “Foundation”, Wethepeople rewarded German powerhouse Felix Prangenberg with his own signature frame. The Pathfinder gets tech, using offset thickness extruded chainstays and BB shell making it much more resilient to grind damage without any un-necessary weight gain. To cap this off, the frame is spec’d with highly progressive geometry including a 13” chain stay, 9.35” stand over height and a 76 degree head tube angle which pair perfectly with Felix’s equally progressive riding style. A new-school tech machine, built to grind, the Pathfinder is one unique looking machine.

REVOLVER FRAME

New in Wethepeople’s 2018 lineup is the REVOLVER frame. The do-it-all and do-it-all-well model, the Revolver frame was created with the sole intention of shredding on any terrain and being able to hold up to absolutely anything that comes its way. Wethepeople increased the strength and stiffness throughout the Revolver, especially in the rear where it utilizes a custom invest casted wishbone and oversize 20.5mm stays making it stiff and resistant to twisting even after years of heavy use. Available in three sizes and with geometry suited to any rider, the Revolver is a deadly weapon.
