Propain Spindrift: New colours, new name - old strengths: Propain has left its Spindrift freeride bike technically untouched - but is giving it a real visual boost. New paint finishes for aluminium and carbon, plus a renamed version that now says more clearly what it is there for. The Spindrift remains what it always was: bike park bruiser, freeride bullet and alpine downhill berserker all in one. Whether aluminium or carbon - both frame versions have been given fresh colours.
Midnight Blue for the aluminium faction
The Spindrift AL will be available in Midnight Blue. A dark, rich blue that gives the robust aluminium frame a clean, confident look. No frills, no bling-bling - simply a colour that matches the character of the material. If you'd rather smash your bike against rocks than polish it, this is the bike for you. The base configuration of the Spindrift AL starts at € 3,099.
Strawberry lip gloss and oat milk for carbon fans
There are two new colours to choose from for the Spindrift CF - and they could hardly be more different. Strawberry Lipgloss is the eye-catching version: it really pops, looks confident and is anything but mainstream. If you want to stand out in the bike park, go for this one.
If you prefer something more subtle, go for Oat Milk. The name sounds like a hipster café, but the colour is anything but boring: understated, modern, yet full of character. Both colour variants of the Spindrift CF are available from 3,699 euros in the base version.
Park becomes Dual Crown - finally honest
The previous Spindrift Park version is now called Dual Crown. The name says directly what the thing is built for. Double crown fork, maximum stability, endless control. If you really want to step on the gas in the bike park, shred technically demanding freeride trails or simply need reserves for the toughest descents, this is the bike for you.
The Spindrift AL Dual Crown costs €3,399 in the base version - also available in Midnight Blue. The Carbon version is of course also available as a Dual Crown, with the two new colours Strawberry Lipgloss or Oat Milk.
Conclusion: Same power, fresh look
Technically, nothing has changed - and that's a good thing. The Spindrift has proven itself. However, the new colours give the bike a fresh look, and the renaming to Dual Crown finally makes it clear what this variant is made for: for everything that goes downhill and gets really rough.
