JetStream P8
Perfect for
  • Long, hard commutes on nasty roads.
  • Long weekend tours.
  • Beating traffic on morning rides into the city.
For 2008, the JetStream P8 gets a complete make-over with an all new frame developed in collaboration with suspension meisters German A. The location of the frame pivot point and suspension kinematics have been radically re-worked for improved function. In combination with the German A designed Kinetix fork, the effect is nothing short of a revelation. So, whether your riding tends to be long tours in the countryside or jaunts bombing around the city at rush hour, the JetStream P8 lets you float above the road in comfort.
