All of the Courttek V2 riders and colorways are officially revealed. The worldwide lineup is heavy with well deserving names, including Devan Gallagher, Satoshi Hashimoto, Max Corcoran, Jakub Bruch, and myself. not only are the colorways themselves cool, but I love seeing how each person built their bike and the personality that goes into every bike and portrait. Full gallery with bike and riding shots after the jump!
Courttek V2’s are still in pre-order, but not for much longer. Grab one on the Master site HERE before you’ll never be able to again!
Another Courttek V2 edit spawns! This time around we’ve got the fixed gear nomad himself Jakub Bruch on his new signature Wine Red Courttek V2 build showcased by the lovely Satoshi behind the lens. Jakub is one of my favorite riders to watch because he’s pushing the envelope of pegless jibs. The front pedal feeble 180 back foot pedal feeble at 0:49 and the feeble switch foot ender at 1:58 were two major standout tricks for me. Everything else is dripping in style too.
Pre-order one of his signature Courttek V2 framesets here!
SAVE THE DATE – NOV 22ND + 23RD
