![]() He was surprised (like me when I saw it) that Redline made a freestyle cruiser. Eagle-eyed Trent spotted it at a bike shop in Hayward, CA. Instead it was a picture posted by our good friend, Trent Brocker. In most cases that would mean I stumbled across it while strolling the aisles of the show.īut, as you’ll recall, Redline wasn’t at the show this year. I got the heads up about the bike while attending Interbike earlier this month. The cool colorway, white & copper, initially caught my eye but this bike has a lot more going for it than its good looks…GT has really put some innovative thinking into this bike ( especially the frame) and it’s definitely worth a second look. Kitted out with a mix of GT, ProMax and Alienation components this bike is ready for battle. Geometry-wise, the Speed Series Pro 24 lines up as follows: Paired with a set of tapered GT Pro Race Forks, this is a nice starting point for a tricked out speed machine. ![]() ![]() We’re talking alloy hydro-formed and butted tubes, internal quick release seat clamp wedge, a CNC/forged quick change dropout system, BB30, and a tapered 1-1/8″-1-1/2″ integrated head tube. There’s a lot going on beneath that white colorway. That being said, the frame is classic in color only. Starting out with a classic white frame, it’s set off by a nice mix of copper ano components…a nice modern touch we’ve seen more recently on the Redline Asset 24. GT really stepped up the looks of their high-end race cruiser, the Speed Series Pro 24, for 2016. I would have liked to see a full-blown test/review but this is a reasonably good substitute.Ĭheck out the video for yourself of Seth putting the bike to the test (and just try to avoid going down the rabbit hole of checking out Seth’s videos….I always end up 3 or 4 deep when I click on one). The bike also looked pretty much stock (save for the pedals which looked like blue composite pedals)…so that’s even more of a plus. The Redline looked like it was none the worse for wear after the repeated attempts and bails. He even makes repeated attempts on a 360 before landing one smooth. Heck, there’s even a disaster…shoutout to the mid school! (Or is that old school?) I’ve always wanted to see one of these completes in action and Seth did a great job of showing what the Asset 24 was capable of.Īt the tail end of the video ( starting at 7:02) Seth has a session on the new workbench skatepark and he proceeds to bust out a good amount of moves and jibs on the Redline. You might recall from previous posts that the geo of the Asset 24 is very close (essentially the same) as the ever-popular S&M ATF 24. Seth Alvo, of Seth’s Bike Hacks fame, shredding on a Redline Asset 24 on his Workbench Skatepark in his new (at the time) garage. I spotted this a while back as a suggested video on YouTube.
