STOUT bikes
Integrated chain tensioners - An inexpensive and effective way of making a chain tensioner
prototype slopestyle frame - This first prototype uses the old "unified rear triangle" which was once widely used but is now for the most part considered to be obsolete due to pedaling inefficiencies. However, for the slopestyle (dirt jumping) application, this type of design works well. It has ride qualities similar to a hardtail yet has enough "give" to inspire confidence over very big jumps. This particular frame is steel, yet has the potential to be lighter than many of its aluminum competitors.
24" MTB - There are not too many options for 24" wheeled dirt jump specific mountain bikes. This one is unique in that it weighs .8 lbs less than its competitors, is made of a stronger "Supertherm" alloy, and has a 25.4mm (BMX standard) seatpost diameter. Many companies specify a 27.2mm seatpost, when there is currently a much larger variety of 25.4mm post available.
Street 26" MTB - This is a 26" wheeled mountain bike frame designed with a more street friendly geometry.
"Slammed" rear wheel - A unique approach in freestyle mountainbike frame design, where the rear wheel is placed much closer to one's pedals for increased maneuverability.
Slopestyle prototype - First iteration of the Stout "slopestyle" full suspension frame
Powdercoating oven - designed and fabricated in less than a week. Cart made from recycled materials
Patina'ed graphics - Using vinyl graphics as stencils for permanently oxidizing designs and logos on a bare frame.
