MASTER COURTTEK V2 PRE-ORDER NOW AVAILABLE

THE DAY HAS COME. The long awaited Master Courttek V2 is here for pre order! Along with this news and 6 colorways we’re introduced to the brand new Master 2025 Trick Track team lineup which includes:

Devan Gallagher, Satoshi Hashimoto, Max Corcoran, Jakub Bruch, and myself as the only alumni of the group! An absolutely killer squad if you ask me.

Here’s what Master has to say about the drop:

“The wait is over. The Master Bike Co Courttek is back! For the V2 we have reinforced the seat tube cutout, changed to integrated headset and have added 2 new sizes to the lineup (size 48 and 58). Additionally, the frameset can be purchased in brakeless or v-brake configurations. Frames now come with matching 700c chopstick forks as well as headset and seatpost collars included. Our team riders put in countless hours riding and tweaking our factory samples to perfect the frame’s geometry and durability in order to create the ultimate tricktrack riding experience.

Every element of the frame has been carefully crafted with intention and precision. The Courttek frame can accommodate tires up to 45c+ with ample barspin clearance, and it features one of the shortest rear ends on the market, ensuring exceptional maneuverability and control. While the Courttek’s styling and design pay homage to the classic track frames of the past, it has been expertly engineered to address the shortcomings and design flaws of earlier bike models.

From the materials used to the carefully designed geometry, every aspect of the Courttek frame has been selected and crafted with the rider’s experience in mind. The result is a highly responsive and versatile frame that is perfect for riders who demand the best in both performance and style.

700c Wheel size, Full Heat Treated Chromoly, 10mm (3/8”) dropouts, 120mm rear hub spacing, English threaded bb, 27.2 Seatpost, Includes Master 700c Chopstick fork, Includes Master seat post clamp and integrated headset

It will take roughly 3 months from the close of the preorder to manufacture and ship these bikes. Each frameset will ship individually so you will not see any cost savings for shipping by combining orders. Preorder will be open from Sunday Sept 14- Sept 28.”

Alongside the 5 signature colors is a special edition woodland camo colorway, making for 6 colors total in this drop. Once this pre-order is done you will not be able to get a Courttek V2, so now is your only time! Snag one here!

Crew Defender 26 Promo

Deacon Wong – Courttek Bike Check 2025

First of all, today is Deacon’s birthday. Go give him some bday love on his IG.

Second of all, Deacon’s Courttek build has changed a bunch throughout his time having it. Although we’ve shot pics of it already, it’s basically a completely different build now. So we got out to a good ol’ basketball court with our buddy Josh and snapped some pics! (Full set and details after the jump)
