The Minor Threat came about as some of us are parents now, and we realized kids these days are putting higher and higher demands on their equipment than ever before.
The V2 builds on the success of the Minor Threat and adds tweaks and refinements, as well as a new 27.5" size (S3).
MTV2
Our new design features more progressivity in the suspension, supporting riders who are riding faster and harder as they progress in the larger end of our size range.
The Minor Threat now has room for a water bottle while maintaining its low-slung design with plenty of stand-over clearance.
Materials
6066 Aluminum was the best choice for the Minor Threat for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the use of aluminum allows us to build a bike that’s burly enough to hold up to the bike park without being too heavy for a lighter rider to manage.
Another factor is that aluminum is pretty low-maintenance. With chromoly steel it's quite important to grease your seatpost every couple of months. However, this isn’t as much of issue with an aluminum bike. While unpainted steel is not naturally corrosion-resistant, aluminum is! You should still grease your seatpost (and pretty much every component-to-component interface for that matter) with an aluminum bike, but it’s a little more forgiving to being “ridden hard and put away wet”.
Just like the rest of our Taiwanese-made frames like the Rootdown, Stylus, and Monk, the Minor Threat is handmade by a team of highly skilled framebuilders in Taiwan, and is held to the same stringent quality control standard that our frames are known for.
