Propain Spindrift Update: A fresh coat of paint, a new name – the same old strengths

Propain Spindrift: New colours, new name – same old strengths: Propain has left the technical specifications of its Spindrift freeride bike untouched – but has really revved things up visually. New paint finishes for aluminium and carbon, plus a renamed version that now makes it clearer exactly what it’s designed for. The Spindrift remains what it always was: a bike park beast, a freeride rocket and an alpine downhill berserker all rolled into one. Whether aluminium or carbon – both frame versions have been given a fresh coat of paint.

Midnight Blue for aluminium enthusiasts

The Spindrift AL will soon be available in Midnight Blue. A dark, rich blue that gives the robust aluminium frame a clean, confident look. No frills, no bling – simply a colour that suits 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 model of the Spindrift AL starts at €3,099.

Strawberry Lip Gloss and Oat Milk for Carbon fans

The Spindrift CF is available in two new colours – and they couldn’t be more different. Strawberry Lipgloss is the eye-catching option: it really pops, looks bold and is anything but mainstream. If you want to stand out at the bike park, this is the one for you.
If you prefer something more understated, 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 in the base spec.

Park becomes Dual Crown – finally honest

The previous Spindrift Park model is now called the Dual Crown. The name says it all: this bike is built for the job. Double-crown fork, maximum stability, endless control. If you’re looking to really open it up in the bike park, shred technically demanding freeride trails or simply need the reserves for the toughest descents, this is the bike for you.

The Spindrift AL Dual Crown costs €3,399 in its standard configuration – also available in Midnight Blue. The carbon version is, of course, also available as a Dual Crown, in the two new colours Strawberry Lipgloss or Oat Milk.

Conclusion: Same power, fresh new look

Technically, nothing has changed – and that’s a good thing. The Spindrift has proven its worth. However, the new colours give the bike a fresh look, and the name change to Dual Crown finally makes it clear what this model is designed for: anything that goes downhill and gets really rough.
