Project "KILLSWITCH"

Black Market Bikes is proud to announce the the arrival of their prototype short travel frame....the “Killswitch”. Weworked closely with Pablo Tafoya in developing their "Hammer-Link" design creating a compact low profile suspension frame. The Hammer-Link provides 4 inches of rear wheel travel while maintaining a stiff, flickable feel with short 16” chain stays and the lowest seat height of any suspension frame....period. The Killswitch has the ability to be run single speed or geared for true versatility.Handmade from 6061 T6 aluminum with function and durability in mind, the Killswitch was meant for the bike park... this is not one of the usual suspects in fresh paint. Like anything they produce, there was a need for something more... and the time has come to...


"throw the switch!!!"
