Astrix Sports
Think back to that first berm you railed. Or that time you buttered the tricky line through the rock garden. Ah yes, these perfect moments on the knobbies are priceless gems in our minds and undoubtedly the reasons we ride. However, these gems take years to form. For biking is one thing and bike handling is all together another. Therefore, a rider's bike may be seen as a direct reflection of the rider's intent.

It is precisely this passion that drives Astrix Sports to create frames that will allow you to consistently find those precious gems. Their award-winning head engineer's been riding for over a decade. Not just riding, but railing berms, launching off drops, and pedaling into the dusk of warm Moab nights. He shares that secret addiction we all have. Astrix feels this understanding is essential to designing a truly amazing frame.

We also know that diligent persistence is the other key ingredient. Like that first series of dirt jumps you strung together, you honed your skills until the line was ridden flawlessly. Every feature of our frames is under constant scrutiny so that each detail is for a purpose and every aspect is considered. Therefore, when you have decided to ride the bike that matches your caliber of desire, it is time to consider an Astrix.

Astrix frames have a tradition of value, performance and innovation. My Next Bike brings this outstanding brand, along with its core values, to the Philippine market.

Rook Pack
Here's one less reason NOT to give the bigger wheels a whirl.

Astrix Rook 29er frame + Hygia Usagi brakes + Velocity VXC rims + ESI Grips = one killer deal! For a limited time only, P40,000 gets you all the above, giving you at least P7,000 in savings! You have a choice of black or white Usagis, Velocity VXCs, and ESI grip color too. We think the Rook rocks with white bits.  Subject to availability. (So act now).

(But wait!) Did we mention that you get a free Philippine flag reservoir upgrade too?

Alright, that's like five less reasons, really.

ASTRIX TECH

MOTOLINK Shock System
The proprietary design from ASTRIX uses a linkage system that mechanically manipulates the spring curve for an ideal spring rate. The system also eliminates shock shaft vertical loading from lever arms rocking into the shock. This decrease the internal friction on the bushings uneven loading of the seals, creating a longer and more reliable life for the shock.

MOBIUS Tubing
7005 seamless extruded aluminum control arm tubing. The tubing has a rib extruded down the center of the tubing. This allows for the tube to be thinner but gains in stiffness. Superior stiffness results in precise control and improved tracking.
